Looks good to me, certainly better than the avalon section as it stands IMHO, just a couple of points though. I like the "Apache.org > Jakarta > Avalon > Framework: " depth indication - would be great to see this applied across the board. I can't decide which way around I like the logos at the top but in this arrangement the jakarta.gif could do with losing the whitespace to the right because at the moment it looks all misaligned - especially when squashed in print (maybe we could use half size versions in print - not thought this through yet though). I like the menu on the left being boxed but can't see how its that useful in print - why not use a @print & "display:none" so that browsers with decent css / printing support don't print it at all - this would allow lots more space for printing, and so less concern about overflowing code. Colour scheme looks great on screen (quite like the print version for screen too - but bolder is probably better), but in print my preference is for high contrast and so I would prefer black rather than grey for the headings - If its going to come out grey on black and white printers then maybe choose the blue instead to add a bit more contrast to colour prints.
