Much better but still confusing and the screen seems very busy. I don't like the two sets of links. I can get a pure css version of it up soon. SAGE is not an alternative to Mathematica and Maple yet. It does not run under Windows natively so it is best to say that it runs under Cygwin well. Link behavior on hover should change. Personally do not repeat any links. Where you are saying calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory link to pages describing what SAGE does in those areas. Note you don't need links to pics when pic shown since right click view pic shows pic in full size. You need a good summary at the top. I really dislike on the documentation page where you have some links on the left and right very distracting.
