Comments on: Design for maemo.org website http://www.tigert.com/2007/04/05/design-for-maemoorg-website/ um, what do I write here?

Have a section for the N770, N800, (potentially even non-nokia maemo devices), and show the available documents, applications, utilities, images, specific for that device. Right now it's a bit of a pain to figure out what's what. If you’re going to redesign the maemo website, I would suggest to make it a bit more “device-centric”.

Here goes anyway: * Looks good overall * The banner "open source development ... code in your hands" is IMO too big, especially if it's visible on all sub-pages of the developer section. I'd probably remove the last line if it doesn't serve a specific purpose. * garage side bar could have an outline or background color like "Tablet User?" does. * I assume top-level "documentation" and "developers->documentation" are different things? * There is a login entry in the corner: I hope this means a combined login for midgard/bugzilla/garage? * Planet is no longer in the top level menu -- I assume it's under "Community". I guess this is fine if it's prominently displayed there... * Including high visibility links to outside of maemo.org, as you did in the image, is a very good idea -- I think maemo/IT community is large enough to have several major sites and cross-linking is a win-win. * News seems to be Garage news -- maybe that should be mentioned?
