Oh, I just mixed up the home page with the download one.

On the LT home page, it takes exactly -24px for the heading of the first
news announcement ("Udine moves to OpenOffice, will save 360,000 Euro")
to vertically align with "I want to learn more about OpenOffice."

I see. I've aligned it with the grey box and -33px looks better. So, it depends which text/graphic is used for alignment. ;-)

One thing I forget to mention concerning the gray bar on the main home
page ("Logo 15th Anniversary of ASF The Apache Software Foundation
Celebrates 15 Years..."). I think it is better to place such
announcements beneath "I want to stay in touch with OpenOffice" because
such announcements concern a very small fraction of the visitors to the
site (even if much cherished and respected). Inserting temporary
elements at the bottom of the page would also make the general
appearance of the page more stable (less shuffling).

Here I disagree with you. Sure, the webpage is shuffling a bit - depending which or how much boxes are displayed.

But they have a special usage: To get the users attention. This can only be reached when it is in an area where the eyes are the most time - and this is on top. When putting it on the bottom it's not recognized as "hot and new and important to know". Furthermore, it highly depends on the display device and resolution you are using. As smaller it is as better it is to put on the top. When on bottom you have to scroll down - to recognize there is maybe something that is interesting for you. With the menu items like "I want ..." you see maybe 3-4 and could think of that there are some more.

And because of this it is IMHO placed better on top.

My 2 ct.

Thanks for the explanation. I've actually spent some time moving up
and down the heading to see what spacing fits best in that particular
situation. My conclusion was -24px. The vertical alignment in that
area is a little tricky because the element next to the heading (i.e.,
the green download bar) has rounded corners and that affects how the
symmetry of the page plays out.

Then I'd suggest

Yes, it does. I'm speculating it was some kind of sync delay in the
server?

Thanks Marcus.

One tiny bit I forgot to mention: in "index.html", the top margin wound
up being -24px.

both "index.html" files (main and from LT) use now the top margin of
-33px for the H2 tag. However, in LT there is an element style of
-24px. And due to how CSS is working the style which is directly set
in the HTML tag is recognized as the last and therefore winning. So,
when you are deleting the -24px then the -33px from home.css resp.
styles.css is used and the headline comes up a bit higher.

In the meantime it's fixed and the staged version looks fine - also
the LT webpage.
