<h6> looks smaller than normal text - I'm not sure if this is a good 
idea. (Not really a problem - is there really someone who needs <h6>?)

Unfortunately the current status looks terrible :-( so please re-think 
your position on that.

Please, please unify the underlining. Non-visited links are underlined, 
visited links are not. This will cause lots of confusion...

I don't really care if all links are underlined or not - as long as the 
same policy applies to *all* links.

Can you add some max-width then? Especially the first line would benefit 
from it. (The goal should be to have the "The content on ..." line as 
two lines with nearly equal length, which should be possible 
independent of the font size when using the "em" unit for max-width.)

BTW, the bar after "About openSUSE" is superfluous...

Another idea: 
    This page was last modified 16:01, 24 May 2007. | This page has been 
    accessed 221 times.
could be combined to
    This page was last modified 16:01, 24 May 2007 and has been accessed 
    221 times.

Doesn't save a line, but looks more readable IMHO.

round corners are OK, but they look to rounded at the search box...

Apropos search box: It seems it has a hardcoded height: which is 
unfortune for people who have a very large font size.

Oh, and the layout has some problems on very large fonts in the header 
(tested with 300% in Konqueror - one of my favorite stress tests for 
websites ;-)

The same problems appear with smaller font size when the window isn't 
wide enough to display the top menu (home page, My talk, Preferences 
etc.) in one line.

Oh, and the Article/Discussion/Edit/... menu bar can hide the language 
selector on big fonts and/or too small window size.

Additionally, the left column width should be specified in em also. 
Otherwise the menu can overlap the content on high font sizes.

You can find two screenshots on www.cboltz.de/tmp/:
- www.cboltz.de/tmp/fonts200.png - showing the cut-off language selector
- www.cboltz.de/tmp/fonts300.png - showing the effects when the top menu
  bar needs more than one line
  1. search field to small for entered text, search buttons outside the
     green box
  2. and 3. overlapping text because of hardcoded width of left column
  4. "Discover it" outside the green box

The main problem I see are the thick top and bottom border lines. Can 
you make them less visible? (for example thinner)

Thanks!

Thanks, but please remove the overflow-x:auto from div.meetings.

Reason: Users will need to scroll down until they can reach the 
scrollbar. This is not funny for meeting transscripts which usually 
contain text to fit several pages.
Without overflow-x:auto the horicontal scrollbar at the bottom of the 
browser scrollbar can be used which is always available.

Also a note should be added to div.pre_hscroll saying that this should 
not be used for code that does not fit on the screen without scrolling.
(Or make div.pre_hscroll a copy of div.pre_scroll with larger height to 
auto-enforce this rule.)


Another thing I just noticed: please add some whitespace after <div> - 
the next headline is too close to it.

Hmm, what about adding some padding (left and right) to <td> and <th> in 
general?

This would also make normal tables in the content area looking better 
(see the table on Tag_Formatting which looks quite squeezed).
