This patch just makes a few simple 'structure' changes to hopefully allow users to find their information faster. Main changes include: o Removing the 'News' section. Most of the information there is repeated on the right bar. o Adding a supported platforms section (replaces the above). This will help users locate information on arch support without going through a maze of links. o As per PR www/59853, add a 'Crafting Bug Reports' link to the problem reports article. Other possible changes could be: Under Development, remove the Release Engineering link (we have a section on it already). Perhaps replace it with a link to Threads and other development areas. This may increase exposure for those projects and ultimately increase support, patches, and development in those areas. Comments, suggestions, and even a new patch (not a patch to this patch though) are very welcome. Thank you. -- Tom Rhodes --- index.xsl.old Mon Dec 1 12:53:03 2003 +++ index.xsl Mon Dec 1 13:06:33 2003 @@ -94,13 +94,16 @@ bgcolor="#ffcc66" width="100%"> -
