I am worried about the three-column layout for the wiki start page. The current layout is much more flexible and offers more space for content in the right-most column. Your draft reminds me of the original wiki design when opensuse.org was launched. It also had a menu-like third (right-most) column which looked great on the mockups and later proved to bee too unflexible for the content that we want to show on the first screen of the first page. > > apart from that the style looks not bad, though I have to admit I like > > the current boxy design of the wiki start page too.

Well, it would give visual-imagination challenged people like me an idea how the draft would look like with bigger fonts ;-) cheers, Sonja -- Sonja Krause-Harder ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) SUSE Research & Development ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE Linux Products GmbH GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
