OK I've done more changes/improvements. It's now a fluid layout. Since no one except Dave had suggestions on what to I went with his idea of two (mostly equal) columns. In this case the left is fluid the right is fixed.
I also removed everything except the latest release information. For the simple reason that more than that make the page unnecessarily long. After all anything older than the latest version isn't "Latest News".
Good idea, although I think we should maintain a release_history page so we can get back to the release summaries. Every so often I've found it handy to refer to a release or so back. Also I think the history helps new people see that boost isn't some 'flash-in-the-pan' open source project.
It's very unusual, but I _think_ I like it overall. I think the right column could use some reorganization; the groupings don't feel very natural to me. But I can't come up with a better suggestion right now ;-)
Overall I like it as well, although I'm not certain we are all seeing the same thing ;-) I tried this in a few different Linux browsers at different widths and got 'interesting' results. Rather than trying to explain what I'm seeing I took a couple snapshots and put them up on the Wiki: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?FrontPage_Des... So is the right hand pane supposed to be 'double wide' or single wide? Also on the mozilla based browsers when the window is wide the search/contribute boxes get obscurred. BTW, thanks for working on this -- in case I haven't already said it. Jeff
