I've only looked at the frontpage... I'm wondering if it would not be better to merge the 2 sets of links : "Use SAGE Online! (alternate) | Live Tutorial | Download | Documentation |"
and """ Download Documentation Live Tutorial Mailing Lists, etc """ into one big one. The second set of links take all my attention (bigger fonts) and I hav eto look harder to see the links at the top. Maybe the links only relevant to developers could be moved to the bottom of the page, away from the user-centric links? Or was that intentional? Looking at Timothy's page, I really like the fonts and colors, but the content is just not appropriate for an intro to SAGE. The perfect SAGE page for me would be William's content and layout + Tim's fonts and colors. didier On May 6, 3:37 am, "William Stein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm doing a redesign of the SAGE website to target SAGE much > more at end users rather than developers (I think the tipping > point has now arrived, since about 500 people downloaded > SAGE in the last two weeks...)
