I also agree that it's too blue. The color scheme is fine, but less of it would be nice. :) I also think the animated, sliding lozenge at the top is too much. When I hover the mouse over something like "Download" on the front page, the box highlights and I can click to go to http://lite.sagemath.org/download.html. But when hovering over the word "Download", the destination URL doesn't show up on the bottom bar of my Firefox window. (This is with 3.0 beta 5.) I *really* dislike that. It's bad UI -- I use the destination URL as a way of telling me what's going to happen if I click. I would change the last line of the intro blurb: It provides an entire in itself closed distribution of various software packages and is actively developed by many people. by changing the "entire in itself closed" bit: It provides an entire distribution of various software packages and is actively developed by many people. I would remove the web-based IRC client embedded into http://lite.sagemath.org/help-irc.html; perhaps just point people to a list of different kinds of IRC clients. I like the title "Sage Mathematical Software" suggested by John Palmieri, since the word "sage" functions both as a noun and an adjective. :) Dan -- --- Dan Drake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- KAIST Department of Mathematical Sciences ------- http://math.kaist.ac.kr/~drake
