1. The random color scheme is surprising and confusing to me. 2. The essential information conveyed by the main text on http://sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page ("The learning engine for every child: ....") is not the most prominent element. The text that I imagine is meant to serve this purpose ("The Sugar Learning Platform provides ....") should be made the first text the eye sees after the "sugarlabs" icon/logo. 3. No "iconic" aspect of the Sugar UI is prominently visible. The "Sugar user interface" thumbnail should not be the Freeform layout and should be more prominent (http://sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page does this alright, but the wiki left and top navigation elements are more distracting than I'd like). 4. The "only visible when rolledover" menu is distracting eye candy that's not to my liking as eye candy. It should just be always visible. 5. The little "wiki / download / add-ons / donate" menu in the top right is nice and visible. "download" needs to get some content but that's not your issue. 6. The elliptical text snippets are good demo / PowerPoint fodder but don't help peolpe answer the questions I imagine people are going to come to the site to find out. Especially since they're phrased as statements/answers, so people with different questions have to read each one and decide if it answers the question(s) they have. What are the questions you are trying to help people answer? 7. Maybe the "next >" page is a better skeleton for the first page: http://www-testing.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=page&page=about_overview . > Best, > > > Christian Martin
