Re: Main page change notification
I dont mind the language on top for this page, but if we can get rid of "Main Page" at the top, that'd be GREAT. Right now, it's taking up a lot of real estate and I don't think we really need the page name for this page. The changes look good. I like how the "intro" is split up, so for people who care most about the license stuff, like developers, when they scroll down a bit, they can see it. Cheers!

It also makes the page look less cluttered :) Right but this is the main page which new users see first. They need to be able to select their language easily. I can see having all other pages have it on the bottom or not at all. The main page should have it on the top.

Re: Main page change notification
The new main page looks MUCH better. I also decided to test using IE6 via Wine and everything looks pretty good in my opinion. -Shawn On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 4:32 AM, Minh Ha Duong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Dear friends, > > I just landed a big update to the main page ! > > http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page > > Hope you like it.

Pretty good. I move the language template to the top. For those non-English native user , put it on the top will make them easy to access their language.
