Nice. It gives a good idea of how it could look like. Just to
have something to compare it to: could you make another
version that draw the window title and the left border around the
whole page? (I.e. "page looks like a desktop" vs. "page looks
like a window".). I think I slightly prefer the "window" layout
since it would look more structured, but it's hard to say without
seeing it first.

It's fine to start with. We have to keep in mind that we need a
nice design for the *front page* on 1st of June. Everything else
can wait a little bit longer. Don't spend a lot of time on the
other pager before we have agreed on the basic looks.

Argh! No way! No taskbars on fvwm web pages! Yuck! :-)

Looks good, but don't nest it unnecessarily. For example, there
is no need to sort everything remotely related to documentation
under "Documentation". We can as well keep the old two sections,
one with developer info and one with man pages. I suggest about
ten to fifteen links/buttons on the front page. This is not too
much for the eye and gives a good granulatiry. With more buttons
it becomes confusiong (see
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ for an example) and with
too few you have to click too often. Oh, by the way, keyboard
navigation (tab) on the page is mandatory.
