Hi Jordi,

The new openscenegraph.com template looks great.  I feel that the
upper menu both looks clean and is easy to navigate.  I don't think
having two menus on the home page would be appropriate, I'd rather
have one menu with all the main categories and then have the sub
categories nest within each menu  - like is done with the new rev of
openscenegraph.com.

W.r.t news, the Twitter feed looks good and it's nice to see how
dynamic the feed is - possibly too dynamic as a lot of the twitter
posts look of rather niche interest.  How easy it to filter the feeds
that are followed?  I'm a complete Twitter newbie :-)

Having community new feed in on the front page is a good idea too, but
I wouldn't want it to drown out the big news items like OSG releases
and book publications.  Perhaps having a high volume general news
module and low volume project news module with the project news one
kept small enough to allow the larger block of community new below it.
 I'm guessing we don't need too much other project introduction on the
home page, pictures/slideshows and short sentence would be sufficient
- as long as the links for more information and all visible it'd be
fine.

As for submitting community news, an dedicated email might be possible
but I can't help feel that it could be abused by spammers. Personally
I feel that news items making it onto the front page really need some
editorial oversight.  Since with Joomla we have the ability of
community members to log in and if they have permission add articles I
don't think it'd require too much interaction between people to make
it happen - we just need to make sure that we have more than one
editor available to handle the requests to add news.

Robert.
