I don't know if you are accepting suggestions, but I have a few "usabi= lity" ones:

- The top blue bar(s) is too much big. In a 1024x768 screen it takes almost half the showing page. Maybe decreasing the size of the "second= " bar (the one with detailed BG) and it's contents can be helpful. There are lots of empty spaces inside this bars.

- The bottom menus are very nice but I think they are in the wrong place. The natural human being will search for all the site menu items on the top or "first" page (without scrolling). The rule in this = case is to put all menu items in one place, or, if this items need to be separated, so organize and group related items. "Docs" in the top= then "documentation" right bellow and "Documentation" on the= bottom again is a waist of space, don't you think?


That was just a few suggestions. Sorry for my "english" writing. = It's not my native language.

Thanks!

This has been cross posted to gentoo-dev and www-redesign.

http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org
After receiving a ton of very useful feedback from the developer
commun= ity I have updated the redesign. It should now be closer to 100%
accessible and it should (hopefully) render perfectly in all browsersincluding text only browsers. It now passes XHTML and CSS validation test= s.

I'm asking for everyone (developers and users alike) to please ha= ve a
look at the updated site and send any feedback you may have. I'm
esp= ecially interested in feedback from anyone who uses accessibilty
program= s such as screen readers or if you are color blind or have any
other acc= essibilty issues.

Also, I only use GNU/Linux and I have only tested on the following = browsers:

Mozilla-1.7
firefox-1.0
Opera-8.5
Internet Explor= er-6 under CrossOver Office
Epiphany-1.8.2
Links-2.1 in text mode and= graphics mode.

If you have access to a Macintosh, Windows, *BSD or any other OS or=
Browser please test the site and include your OS and the browser versio= n
in your feedback. I haven't received feedback from Konqueror or Safari
so feedback from those browsers would be much appreciated.

The o= nly major outstanding issue is the contents of the menu in the grey
bar = at the top and what should appear in the 5 purple boxes directly
under t= hem. Currently I have that menu listed in order of what a new
Gentoo user would need to access first. If you have a better idea ofwhat should be included in this menu or think something important is
be= ing left out please send that in your feedback as well.

Thanks in ad= vance

Curtis
