I took a quick look. I like the platform, nice and clear, easy to use. I think new users would like this. >From a learning perspective it might be worth having an install module. This would be platform-specific (Windows install differs from Mac which differs from Linux). But we do receive a good deal of support questions related to install, so this might be an area worth covering. I don't know if your platform allows it, but it would be great if there was a way to take an initial test and based on test results be placed into a higher rank automatically, rather than having everyone start at the same initial level. That way it could be interesting for skill building of users who know a little, as well as absolute beginners. You'll need to give some attention to the trademark issues involved here as well. You currently have it called "Apache OpenOffice Academy by Layup". That name, plus the use of the Apache OpenOffice logo, suggests a certain relationship between the website and the OpenOffice project which could confuse users. You can read more about our trademark policy here: http://openoffice.apache.org/trademarks.html Note: the speed for me was perfect. No issues. I'm near Boston. Jan is in Spain. I wonder whether that could be part of the issue?
