Hi John, I even have a 1920x1200 resolution, but stiil feel that the site is a bit too wide. Even on my notebook where I only have 1024x768 I prefer not to use the full width for broser windows. I find narrower columns easier to read. Thats why magazines use two or three columns for the main text. So if the site fits e.g. 800 I belive it would look better.
Another iisue are the guade & gnome logos at the top. What about having the gnome logo next to the guadec logo on the left ( or even add a '+' in between). Then the top header can be made a bit shorter. Right now there is quite a lot of empty space there. Don'T get me wrong, we should not fill every pixel with infos though.
