I'd like to suggest couple of things for the new design:
- Instead of "Get FreeBSD" item in the top horizontal menu how about
"Download"? People are used to seeing that hot-phrase and are visually
searching for it more often than not. The big "Get FreeBSD Now" link on
the front-page is perfect as it is :)
- In the "Getting FreeBSD page" all the links lead to main ftp site
(ftp.freebsd.org) - wouldn't it be better for them to lead to list of
mirrors, or even by some dynamic gadget (PHP or JavaScript) to the mirror
"nearest" to the visitor (PostgreSQL uses a thing like that and it works
perfectly :) ). The link to "mirror sites" just after the big table is
small and unnoticable - maybe something bigger and more visible, possibly
before the table would be better.
- (minor problem: search is not working yet)
The new design is great!
