I'd like to chime in re: the download button. I think you maybe need to
have the main download button (perhaps with version number) just
download the latest full minified Core, with a link below saying
"customise" or "other versions" or something. Even better if clicking
the main button started the download and landed you on a page explaining
what it is you've just downloaded, and how to get started using it.
Also, I think the redesign as a whole looks great. For the docs, though,
I find that I jump between classes much more than I jump around within
the page -- so perhaps move the page contents into the combo box and
list the classes out explicitly.
I also think it'd be nice to have a little bit more colour injected: the
grey tones make the "download" button stand out nicely, but then it just
becomes very grey... I don't think you'd need much -- just a few subtle
highlights here and there would give it a little bit more vim, in my
opinion. I think that the docs could certainly use colour to
differentiate between the various heading levels more effectively: I
can't tell at a glance that "Property: initialize" is a lower-level
hading than "Returns" (although I can make that inference when I see
"Examples" and "Class example" right next to each other).

Thanks for the feedback, everyone, I'm glad you like the general
direction. A couple follow-up questions before I update the mocks:
* My original intention was for the download button to just link to
the download page, where you could customize your build and
download older versions as well. I didn't put the version number
on it because, in my mind, that implied just a direct download of
that specific version, whereas the generic download label would be
less confusing if it led to the download page. Still, that an
incredibly small detail and I'm fine either way.
* I can definitely shrink the main icons. I think I want to add a
fifth one in there for the docs page anyways, so that works.
* How would you feel about adding a "Resources" page to the main
navigation? I didn't include the books on the front page because I
thought they might be better suited for a page like that, but I
could add them back in if people think the front page is the best
spot for them.
* Would it be too spammy to include a link to my UI framework in the
footer if the redesign utilizes it? The framework itself is open
source, MooTools-based, and not a direct clone/port of Bootstrap,
but it will eventually have an optional commercial tool/service
for it as well. I've put a /ton /work into it and hope that it
will eventually become the MooTools alternative to
Bootstrap. Taking in your suggestion, Aaron, I was thinking about
a link along the lines of "Made responsive with VM UI Framework".
However, if people feel uncomfortable about that, I could leave it
out of the footer.
* I forgot to add anything related to Media Temple. What exactly is
the relationship? Are they a sponsor? Should I add something
similar to the current site?
