Layout is in no way set in stone. Actually, I am aware of many of the shortcomings of the current layout (for example, branch info is a really useful to know right away, so having it hidden inside a tooltip is a bad idea). > Including the stats for the documentation is a good thing (we definitely > missed that) but having the info on both docs and UI on a single page is > kind of superfluous for me (in my workflow I either commit UI or docs, > very seldom both). I agree having them side-by-side is a bad idea. I am planning on putting them one below the other, but still keeping them on the same page (this would allow including branch info in the table as well). The plan is also to make the module name link to module page, with separate link for PO and POT downloads. I also want to add some more interactivity there for those browsers that would support it (like hiding categories until you expand them with JavaScript). There's also a XML output of the page, which should be easy to parse into anything you want: http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/bg/gnome-2-18.xml (I'll add UI translations output shortly) And if you provide me with an XSLT stylesheet, we can even make Gecko-based browsers display it nicely, like Gaim is doing on http://gaim.sf.net/i18n/ with http://gaim.sourceforge.net/i18n/l10n.xsl. And if it's not yet clear: anyone willing to help with the design side of things is more than welcome: that's why I am using a templating engine. > Could we have the tabular view back please?

For all the accessibility reasons, I am not going to enforce any font other than what you choose yourself. Note that default document font in GNOME is a bit larger than screen font (usually 12pt vs. 10pt), so you may want to adjust that as well.
