Since i'm not new to Gentoo, when i go to the front page it's either to follow link to the doc or to read news. The former is fine, but the later is not (news are the last ~10% of what i see): http://tdegreni.free.fr/gentoo/redesign_gentoo_org.png I'm not good at HTML things so i can't send a patch, but I think the vertical size of the information boxes on top should be only what is needed for the text to fit, and not the background image size or whatever else it is at the moment. And also, there should be much less white space before the real contents starts. Modified in Gimp, it would more looks like that: http://tdegreni.free.fr/gentoo/redesign_gentoo_org_fixed.png Oh, and also, i don't really like the "Get Gentoo and compile software optimaly for your architecture" slogan. Not that it's completly wrong, but my experience with new users on forums is that those who came to Gentoo mainly for that reason are usualy disapointed. I would rather see something about system customization in general (i mean, not only CFLAGS but also USE flag et al., which is much more interresting). Something like "Get Gentoo and make your own =AB sur mesure =BB system.", but i don't know how to translate "sur mesure" from french to english. -- TGL. --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
