IE5 for mac contains unfixed security issues which won't be fixed (as
announced by MS), how is that considered  supported ? Is it even still
distributed within MacOSX Tiger ?

Now people can also use NCSA Mosaic. It's valid as long as you can run
it. But a browser with vulns, unsupported by the vendor, with a broken
CSS, I think you do not have to support it. Well of course, if you like
it just do it ;)


Oh btw, *great* progress on the design.

Two things that I still find a bit wrong though:

- I find code boxes ugly. Maybe its some useability thing, is easier to
see, I dont' know, but its ugly ;)

- The bottom boxes are uneven in size, it looks a bit strange. Also i
still wonder about this whole concept, as its not the first place you
look for links. I'll take an example:
http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml
I am in 1024x768 and I don't see the boxes if I don't scroll. I don't
think you acn reduce every page so that you see them without scrolling.
Unfortunately I dont see any good solution. Maybe it'll stay this way. I
would put more than 2 news items on the front page then, even if it also
hides the boxes a bit on 800x600 or 1024, because it doesnt give much
info to have 2 items per news page ;)
