The fixed-size columns on the front page aren't wide enough for me and "FreeBSD-SA-05:20.cvsbug" happens to wider than the column it is in. And in general, I have already heard from quite a lot of people today that the old design was quite authentic and recognizable, while the new one looks as a quite standard portal. -- Best regards, Alexander.

I did find a broken link however. On: http://www.freebsd.org/community/newsgroups.html The first "newsgroups" link in the text looks like it is missing a leading slash.> > regards > Claus > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"

Nice work.Other than the main page, which is very different from the rest of the site, it looks really nice. Very easy to find information, consistent look, nice colours. Odd to see newbies used so predominantly, though. Overall, very impressive. Very professional looking, very clean. Now I have to redo all my bookmarks. :) -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net

On the downside, I notice it now uses cookies.Well if you like the old site just try this: http://www.freebsd.org/old Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com

There is a prominent section for finding the archives, but no "subscribe" button. You either have to know that mailman archives will let you do that or find your way through the underlined "Mailing List" text. Also, I found it confusing that while I had gone to the "mailing list page" I had to descend another level through another "mailing list" link to actually see the list. Anyway, it might be nice to add a "Subscribe" link to one of these two pages: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL> > regards > Claus > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"

My congrats to the webdesigners and the Freebsd community, for the great looking new webpage! I find it infomative, easily navigated and it even looks good in lynx. What more can you ask for? Good job! // Martin Gumucio

After seeng 60-odd messages in this thread in only 4 days, i can only say
BIKE SHED ALERT!
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#BIKESHED-PAINTING
we could all take a minute and read that little jewel buried in the
docs, since this is a prime example of the bike-shed syndrome.
In the mean time, I say kudos to the designers and all those who took
the time to revitalize the web page.

I have a much prefered image to the Danish "fingerprinting" image. I
simply imagine a scruffy old dog lifting its leg and "marking". Until
management has peed on it the project will not go forward.

gained within weeks of working in industry in the late 60s.
