[website] New design is in CVS.
The new design is now in CVS! But before people start saying.. "We don't like it! Why dis you put it in?" ... It was decided that having something now was better than having to wait for another release and have no progress shown on the website. Hence expect the design to continue to evolve after the release. Yell if you do an update, and find any problems. One WARNING, if you update either of the two new pages, index.htm and more/version_history.html, please process them with: tidy --tidy-mark no -i -wrap 78 -m -asxhtml --doctype strict [file] So as to ensure no errors creep in, and to make the formatting consistent. I'm trying to find a place to an instruction to that effect, but I can't readily see a place for it. Anyone have a suggestion where I should document running of tidy? -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org

That's the closest place I could find also.. But it currently has the "updating between releases" label. So if there's no other place, I'll put it there and rewrite into a more general "updating website html" document. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org

With all respect to you and what you have done, IMO it's not ready yet. 1) Where is Logo? (I though we have new one?) 2) Because of double-column links on the right side, new site on desktops less or equal to 800x600 looks *VERY* strange (links occupies up to 70% percent of space) 3) IMO It's too hard to navigate on new site because of right-side links, so may be make two designs with links on the left and on the right and boosters will choose the best one? 4) One more issue about links: I understand you have done something like: <table> <tr><td>What is boost?</td><td>Links #1</tr> <tr><td>Participation</td><td>Links #2</tr> <tr><td>Boost 1.33</td><td>Links #3</tr> </table> because of this, gaps between links rectangles depend on deskop size, and IMO it's not good. The standard way to make gaps between links rectangles don't depend on desktop size is: <table> <tr> <td> What is boost? Participation Boost 1.33 #2 </td> <td> Links #1 Links #2 Links #3 </td> </tr> <table> 5) There is a new bug with IE6 when horizontal resizing page - Strange gray rectagles appears... -- Pavel Chikulaev

Overall, the new design looks good :) I agree with the right-side links, it doesn't feel natural. Why not a simple menu system? Cheers, -- Swaroop C H Blog: http://www.swaroopch.info Book: http://www.byteofpython.info
