Well, we need to make sure that things are simple for the average user.
This user shouldn't ever download a release candidate. Additional
advantage is that a page load is not required for the download (unless
javascript is turned off, it then will simply open up the download page
you are referring to). Despite the great redesign effort, I think the
download page is not the best page to present to a beginning user.... we
need sense and simplicity... (guess where I'm working ;) )

Yep.

Even better. Good idea. Currently I simply import, always, a quite reduced
version of a merge of inst.css and tigris.css , but still your solution is
better. Btw, we also need a separate import, if we go this route for the
file manager, and....

All text was about 9px if I remember correctly. The font size for the
normal text has already been adjusted. So you might not even have seen the
small text I was referring to when I wrote what you were commenting on.
see e.g. http://test.openoffice.org/help/

I know, the DomainHome switch... but do you think we can also turn it off
for the entire www project? (or isn't that considered a project?)
Secondly, will you be available for assistance as well tonight, or
tomorrow night?
