I don't have any problems with our look-and-feel, as I think that part of the site was designed very well, but I do think there are both navigation and maintainance issues that have arisen in the two years since the current site was designed. I'm listing some problems that I see with the site, and I would greatly appreciate it if people would add to this list. 1. Right now it is essentially impossible to navigate to any of our project pages (including all of the top-level projects such as infrastructure, hardened, ...) from the gentoo main page. At the same time, the main page is getting a bit crowded with links (especially the left-hand navigation column). =20 2. The last time I looked, our xsl code was really ugly. Moreover, there's a great deal of content that is buried in the xsl. (For example, adding a new link to the left-hand navigation column requires editing the xsl file). 3. Numerous people have complained that the html+css we generate is remarkably ugly. I don't know if we can fix this problem without losing support for older browsers (NS 4.x being the principle offender).
