Good stuff. As someone who hasn't really been following the design process, my immediate reaction is: - Looks really nice and clean, but I'd be a little worried that the top (black) bar might be too 'hidden'-- I've often wandered around for ages on sites like this, where there's some obvious primary navigation mechanism (the tabs in this case) looking for a link I knew must be there, only to discover there was a whole different set of links right at the top that I hadn't noticed before. But maybe that's just me :) - (Wearing noob user's hat) Some of the links seem a bit vague, e.g. what's the difference between the News link and the news I'm looking at on the home page, and why should I ever need to visit an About page-- shouldn't all the other pages cover everything 'about' GNOME that I'd ever want to know? (Btw, has anyone done any card-sorting type exercises to check that the categories we think make sense are the ones our target audience thinks make sense?)
