Thanks Cameron; I do invite anyone with better knowledge of CSS then me (that should be everyone) to have a review of the template used for the overview and quickstart. I was not able to get as closed to the OSGeo standard documentation look and feel as I would like.
It is enough to get us something on screen however. There was also a two column "overview" example which did not make it to the email list; the content needed from each product remains the same.
