 Dear friends,

   I just landed a big update to the main page ! 

 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page

 Hope you like it. Thanks to Ferenc, Bernt, Mercury, Montgoss and Stryderjzw 
 for helping. Please express yourself by improving it further as you see fit. 
 It definitely can use more polish:

 - The layout has been tested with Firefox and Konqueror only.

 - Obviously feeding the news automatically from an RSS flow would be better, 
 as Aaron said. Pending that there will be a need to feed the newsbox 
 manually.

   
 - I support Brian's remark that DOCS should be BUGS

 - I add that in the same linkbar, HOME and WIKI lead to the same page.

 In doubt, don't hesitate to use the Discussion tab of this page. I 
 apologize 
 in advance for not following up very closely in the next weeks, but familly 
 vacations come first.

 Wishing everybody a smooth ASU experience soon,
 Minh

 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!
 Justin

 sorry!

 I think changing from one language to another inside the page is
 actually a rare task, as bookmarks can be set directly to the language
 of choice. 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.  Many people don't speak english.

 Ok. For the benefit of those non-english speakers who find it too
 difficult to scroll to the bottom of the page once to change languages
 before bookmarking it, I shall leave it as is. :)

Hi! I have now removed the second heading saying Welcome to
Openmoko. As soon as we find a way to remove Main Page we can add
it in again.

Cool.

How about 'Trac'?  Thats what it is, and most sites that use trac link 
it that way.

Btw, Some people like single-worded sections like:

News
Introduction
Users
Developers

I personally do, but it's not a big issue.  What do you guys think?

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.

The new main page looks MUCH better. I also decided to test using IE6 via
Wine and everything looks pretty good in my opinion.
