I like the idea of the dropdown menu's but IMO need more polishing - they look rather 'raw' compared to the rest of the website now due to the very square boxes etc. It should also be thought out a lot what belongs in each menu etc. E.g. the deveopers handbook and porters handbook link is IMO misplaced as it should be under documentation rather than developers menu. Also developers handbook is so out of date I don't think we should be promoting it this much without an update to it. A direct link to cvs/svnweb would be much more useful IMO. BTW. the foundation part could have a direct link to their donations page as a submenu item. > You replaced the "Learn More" link with the "New to FreeBSD" one > (pointing to newbies.html).

FWIW, I agree with this. And as I have said before, I strongly opose adding the stuff to the front page without removing something else (in this case the 'donation button' is new). -- Simon L.
