Just to be clear, this is the same as what I reported, so fixing one
fixes the other.  (Note: I don't use the Org site much, so it's a
consideration for those who do and for newcomers.)

You're right, I added a link in the first item of this list,
thanks for suggesting it.

Getting rid of the fixed elements is not that difficult.  

If people overall think this would be best, I would have 
no objection.  

Can someone provide a patch to this effect so that we can
test?

[O] 'Missing' link to the release notes on the homepage

2011-12-16 Thread Christoph LANGE

Hi Bastien, dear all,

Congratulations on the new release and the new homepage!  Some quick 
feedback about the new homepage:


I would have expected a link to the release notes from the following 
text on http://orgmode.org/org-mode-news.html:



Latest news
2011-12-12 Release 7.8, 7.8.01 and 7.8.02.


I know that the release notes exist, and that they are linked from the 
"download" page, but the latter is simply not the only place where I'd 
expect them.


Overall I like the new homepage design.  Just a minor issue, which, I 
think (didn't read the whole thread, just searched for the issue), 
hasn't been mentioned so far:


One problematic side-effect of the fixed head bar, at least in Firefox 
and Opera, is that is impairs page-wise scrolling.  When I hit "page 
down", some lines of text (as much as the height of the head bar) is 
skipped.  If you are lucky enough to _notice_ that, you have to manually 
work around by scrolling the page a few lines up again. – But I have no 
idea for fixing, other than un-fixing the head bar – which you may find 
undesirable for other reasons.


Cheers,

Christoph
