I like it, but there are things I don't like: Removing underlines from hypertext links makes it impossible to tell wether a heading in the navigation columns is a link or not. We could require that all elements of the navigation are links, but I would like links in the running text to show normal behaviour (underlined and blue). Also, we are very good at hiding our search box. IMHO, the search box has to be placed in the upper right corner. We could make this corner less crowded by shortening "Select a server near you:" to "Mirrors". Then we could place a sufficiently large search box (say twenty characters) in that corner. I think, a mix between your work and Simon's work (http://simon.nitro.dk/freebsd/webexp/) will look good. I would like a header showing the logo, the language and mirror selection and maybe the gray navigation bar. Below that a two column layout is sufficient, moving the leftovers from Simon's approach into the text column. -- Marxpitn
