5 | I started the layout for the about page. It, along with the about.css,

8 | at a later date. I took out the Manage, Customize, etc bar for this
9 | page. Should it be on all pages? I think it looks better without for
10 | this page and all sub pages for that matter. Thoughts?

12 | Also, I removed the "Gentoo Linux... in a poster" section. That is just
13 | cheesy and does not fit the new design in any way. The clean
14 | professional look that Aaron has designed is paramount I think.

16 | I'll start the other pages that swift outlined tomorrow and hopefully
17 | will have them all done by Monday. If someone else is already working
18 | on these pages please let me know ASAP so we don't duplicate each
19 | others work.

21 | I put it up on my homepage if you want to have a quick look it's a
22 | yahoo page so I apologize for the stupid pop-up ad.

25 I think the section headers could do with being a touch bigger, they
26 don't really stand out enough. Also the "more than 8000 packages" type
27 links could be lime green to again make it stand out more.
28
29 The link boxes down at the bottom look a little lost, and not all that
30 helpfully all the way down there.
31
32 The link bar looks a little bland without the Manage, Customize etc
33 things. Perhaps some more colour up there somewhere? "Gentoo Linux" in
34 lime green maybe?
35
36 All constructive criticism, of course ;)
