A couple of points: 1) Can we move the search? I'm sorry I don't have time to prototype something, but it would be great if the search could get out of the main flow of the page and into the header somehow. What I'm thinking is something vaguely like http://www.php.net/ where the search is on the top right of the page. We might also consider putting a 'quickpick' bar running across the top which has the most frequently used links. And just to be clear, I'm not a big fan of the 3 column arrangement on the php front page... 2) Color choices: http://redshift-software.com/~grafik/boost/index.htm White on blue isn't a good choice here in my view. A light shading with dark text would be much better. I don't like these either -- the red is too jarring for me... http://uk.geocities.com/msclrhd/boost/boost2.html Luckily, these are easy to change. 3) The need for icons Personally, the icons really don't do anything except add a bit of flair to the page. So I'm with Dave on this -- the text is more important. I'll have some additional thoughts on content organization if I can ever get finished with my OOPSLA workshop writeup. We had some specific discussions about content changes that need to be made... Thanks for working on this! Jeff
