hi,

I would like to make a few comments to the new proposed website, if you
don't mind:

- I think it has to many different color at the top
- the table below "What can I find on this site?" seems to be too large
and the icons are too far left. maybe you can reduce the width to e.g.
75% and vertically align it in den middle, which will move things more
in the center of the view of the visitor.
- at the bottom I see a copyright 2005. in my view, every page should
have a clearly visible date, when it was last updated. in many cases on
the web I search for pages and only after reading through it I
understand that it is outdated. a visible date helps people to
understand how old the page is.
- top right there is a "Home", top left is the edubuntu logo, top right
side is a pen. these all link to edubuntu.org. I think "Home" should be
the start page of the wiki. edubuntu on the left is ok but I don't
understand the mening of the pen drawing on paper
- I am located in germany. the login textbox and the buttons on the
right are all in english, but the combo box on the left is localized and
contains german entries (which are not sorted well). it would be goog to
have either/or but not mixed.

so much for the moment. thank you for the effort. if there is nothing to
do for me on the current site I could also do some translations from
german to englisch. but I also speak fluent italian.

rgds and a nice weekend,

uwe
