HI!

I like the page. ;) Well done!

As you said, the targeted audience are end users. So I'ld suggest to add
some entrance
like "If you start <here>, an requester will pop up, because of blah ...
Risks could be blah..
Benefits are blah ... etc...".
Also, I'ld trim down the results even more. Ideally to one single sign,
an additional comment
and a "want to know more?" link.
As an example:
"Seems you like the distance. Want to get local? <Learn more>"
is much more end user friendly than:
" Se você está no Brasil recomendamos utilizar todos os nossos
servidores (a.st1.ntp.br,
b.st1.ntp.br, c.st1.ntp.br, d.st1.ntp.br, a.ntp.br, b.ntp.br, c.ntp.br,
gps.ntp.br), veja
como configurar em http://www.ntp.br/NTP/MenuNTPLinuxBSD."; ;)

Oh, It looks like your language switch doesn't work

Anyway, are you going to put it on github / sourceforge / code.google ?


I've currently read the other answers to your mail, regarding java
security, but I think this
can't be your business.
if someone has java installed, he/she is at risk, but it's already there
and can be used.
If I'ld ban java from my desktops, I couldn't do my job. Every kvm over
ipmi and the
vast majority of storage and switch management comes with korean or
chinese
signed applets, often in broken english.


cheers,

Stephan
