No, Bootstrap is a JavaScript framework under Apache License 2: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ ; while very good for certain use cases, we probably don't want to depend on a JavaScript framework at the moment. So no jQuery, no Bootstrap, even though I wouldn't rule them out if we at a certain time restructure the whole site. > And for a language selector, we talked at one time about adding the > Google Translate drop down on each page, to make it easier for > visitors to get a page translated It would be enough to have a language selector on the homepage (or everywhere, but redirecting to the native-lang homepage). So, no content translation, but merely a redirection to a localized website. Now, to see the German site, one has to click on "Native Language" and then select "German". Having a language drop-down near the search box would improve the user experience. (By the way: no flags, language names are OK and politically correct). Regards, Andrea.
