Yes, with the addition that I'd like a big shiny download button with some auto-detected text like so: http://getfirefox.com. I'm imagining this somewhere in the upper right corner. Perhaps this can be handled by giving the featured item 3/4 of the space, then the download button + some short introductory text ("FEniCS is ... try it out today") in the right 1/4 space just below the download button. -- Anders _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~fenics Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~fenics More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
