Me too, even better than last time. > Some other ideas/comments: > 1) I think that the main page would look better if "Our mission" is in > bold and starts a separate paragraph. I was thinking along the same lines, but now that I see it I'm not so sure. Also, I think it might be better for the text to be left- justified (but still centered in the page). > 2) Navigation buttons and their labels look great, but "sublabels" are > very small (smaller than commong text on pages) and I think they would > look better if they were arranged vertically rather than horizontally. Perhaps it would look better if the label was vertically centered on the graphic (or at least more so) rather than the sub-label being centered there. > 3) The top and bottom of "Download and Media" header on the download > page are cut in Firefox under WinXP with large fonts on. > 4) Maybe some links to "DVD" and "Additional packages" on the top of > this page would be useful.

How hard would it be to sort these by platform (according to browser information?). I'm usually against OS-specific customizations, but this is somewhere that makes sens. Right now the Windows download is the only thing I see (have to scroll down for other options). I think the blurb could be shorter too (just say a native port is in the works). > Minor/cosmetic: > 5) Lists of the form "1. lower case" look weird to me and I'd rather > have "1.

It's mostly for people with limited bandwidth or who like to hold a physical DVD, provided at cost (zero revenue for us). - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
