Hi Daniel, * Welcome to our community! Daniel Neel schrieb: Hello all. My name is Daniel Neel and I'm interested in working on LibreOffice's new Drupal-based web site.

I got most of my information about where to start on the Document Foundation wiki, and was under the impression that the current site was a temporary fix until the Drupal site got up, and thus decided to work on the Drupal site heh.

All product pages (LibreOffice/... Calc/Writer/etc) - Inconsistent spacing between the navigation bar and the start of the page's content Daniel, Thanks for your interest in the development. We are currently focusing on the development of the libreoffice.org site in order to get the site up quickly. The site you are looking at has a longer term approach and is not going to be complete in the short term. We are organising a conference call soon to gather the website team together in order to better coordinate this work. It would be great if you could come along. I will add these items to the list of actions for the Drupal development, but I would not expect to see anything actioned here for at least the next few weeks due to the urgency of the live site. Thanks for contributing, and we would love to see you get involved in the team.
