This is just a bunch of .org files, only 1 hour needed to translate the whole website. Hope you like it! I personally really like the new look (on a 19 Wide-screen Safari browser under OSX). It looks really clean, organized, and professional. I tended to think the original page held just too much information, as a landing page - i.e. for a potentially new Org-user who is making there first steps into researching Org-mode. Incidentally, it also looks really good on the Ipad (safari), where the left-hand column links work just fine. Best, Martyn

Mh.. your screen seems quite small. If you can fix the .css to display
the website better on your screen, please do, I don't have time at hand
now to do it myself.
The attached three patches to the orgweb repository change the CSS for
smarter rendering on narrow screens (they don't address screen height).
The changes include...
- scale down images on narrow screens
- decrease the width of the left link bar on narrow screens
- decrease the padding around the title on narrow screens
- shrink the paypal link on smaller screens -- I would like to move this
button on really small screens, but somehow that doesn't seem possible
- remove the Org-mode image on really small screens
- remove the twitter feed on narrow screens -- for some reason I was
unable to change the size of this widget, so I just hide it on a tiny
screen
These changes make the new website work on my system, and should improve
the reading experience for everyone who keeps their browser screens less
than 1400 pixels wide.
If these look good please apply them.

Looks beautiful. Unfortunately, it does not work with large fonts. Try setting Firefox to the maximum value for the minimum font size to see what I mean.

Re: [O] Refresh of http://orgmode.org
Hi, I honestly liked the old one better. Some of my concrete criticism are: - The old screenshot conveyed what org-mode was all about. Outlining and project planning. The new screenshots take a lot longer to load and even if you click on them, their content is not always accessible. - I don't like this particular type writer font. On a Mac it's very thin compared to the serifless font that makes up the normal text. But that's just aesthetics. - I don't like the fixed top bar with the Org-Mode motto and the random quote. It takes up about 20% of vertical screen space of my laptop. A complete waste in my view. The black background also does not cover the text behind it -- one or two pixel of the text are visible above the bar. - The old homepage had all the easily accessible information on one page. So you could go to the homepage, search for manual or mailing list and go on from there. (I sometimes work like that.) The new homepage only contains screenshots (that don't convey a lot of meaningful information) and the org-mode mission statement. Useful information is available but the links are somewhat hidden in the description of what org is about and some are hard to find. (E.g. the manual is linked with the text documented extensively.) I believe that people quickly scan web pages for relevant information and the current format makes that hard.

Hi Viktor, Viktor Rosenfeld listuse...@googlemail.com writes: - The old screenshot conveyed what org-mode was all about. Outlining and project planning. The new screenshots take a lot longer to load and even if you click on them, their content is not always accessible. I agree. Feel free to contribute to Worg with relevant screenshots that we can select as featured on the index page. Also add title and caption for these screenshots. - I don't like this particular type writer font. On a Mac it's very thin compared to the serifless font that makes up the normal text.

The black background also does not cover the text behind it -- one or two pixel of the text are visible above the bar. Can you make an alternate .css with non-fixed top bar and a better font? - The old homepage had all the easily accessible information on one page.

I believe that people quickly scan web pages for relevant information and the current format makes that hard. I somehow agree that it was good to have everything in one page, but I don't think that page was *that* readable. In any case, you can always pull the website (it's just a git repository) and you have everything in one directory. If you have any patch that would make the website better to your eyes, please send it! Thanks, -- Bastien

Outlining and project planning. The new screenshots take a lot longer to load and even if you click on them, their content is not always accessible. +1 for preferring the old screenshot, for exactly those reasons mentioned above. While it is fun for me to look at random screenshots from Worg, part of the purpose of this site is as a gateway to Org-mode, and I fear many of these random screenshots are meaningless (or even intimidating) unless you already have a good understanding of Org-mode. - I don't like the fixed top bar with the Org-Mode motto and the random quote. It takes up about 20% of vertical screen space of my laptop. A complete waste in my view. The black background also does not cover the text behind it -- one or two pixel of the text are visible above the bar. I also find that (in part because of the new larger screenshots) I can't see any content upon first loading the page (see this screenshot [1]). - The old homepage had all the easily accessible information on one page.

I agree that the manual should be linked with the term manual, as (unfortunately IMO) it seems many Emacs and Org-mode users aren't comfortable using the build in Emacs info system and prefer to use the online manual exclusively. Aside from those items mentioned above I do generally like the style of the new site.
