Very helpful, nadir. Moved some of the sections around. Will be cleaning things up shortly. I'm assuming that the page presentation is OK with y'all?

Unanswered questions . . . So what are all the ************** for? Looks nasty.
(see /usr/share/doc/[refracta2usb | snapshot2usb]/readme.txt ***********

Is there a ' missing?
(Alternate: 'vncviewer remote-host:0)

Why isn't there an etc/refractainstaller.conf on my squeeze install?

Just about finished tidying up the html here. I reformatted the index and team pages, added a documents page and prettified the release notes complete with simple page navigation. All pages validate at the W3C.

All linkage is relative to the structure in that folder. There should probably be an images folder too especially if we are going to add screenies (I haven't messed with that page yet). Either you will have to update the structure at ibiblio or fix all the links.

I also linked the header image to http://www.ibiblio.org/refracta/ which for now will take you away from the pages I'm working on.

I'll be double checking that all the commands are as in the original release notes later.

I'll put together the last part of the wiki blurb in a bit.

release notes looks (and looked) ok to me.
Like said: I would add more space between "paragraphs"
I would also add the simple page navigation to the bottom (too).

If it was me i would remove all style from the html-files and put them in a css-file
(not really important, but once you are at it).

I love the navigation, btw.

Perhaps <hr> in addition to more space.

I am just shooting some ideas. Pop them around your head, for a sec, in case you want to.
It really looks good.

Thanks.

Will consider that.

I'm pretty **** about things like that. The original markup was pretty funky. It's better now but more could be done. Don't know whether I want to mess with it though . . . starting to get a little burned out.

:D

Appreciate the suggestion but <hr> are kinda gross IMO. ;)

Yes, it looks good. I agree with nadir that the release notes need more white space. You guys can have fun talking html. I don't know what you're saying.

The rows of stars (************) are flags so I can find where I need to edit stuff.

tor logged me out twice, so let's keep it short:
I don't speak html, but copy and paste (if at all).
I usually do vim Temp/index.html:
<head>
</head>
<body>
this is hr:
<hr>
</body>
and open it in a web-browser. But you probably knew that already.

boxes (?) are cool, but i can't handle them in a reliable way.

I am not a fan of too much white on the screen. White which is slightly less white than full white is better, imho (some call that gray :-) )

Different sections now in separate containers - helps break up the page visually. Added more space between elements. Section titles now all CAPS. Navigation added to the bottom. TOP links added at the bottom of each section. Created image folder with relative links to the logo in the markup. Screenies can go in there. Once they are done, I'll optimize and redo the screenshot page. I think we want a series for installer, snapshot, and maybe some menus and apps.

About done for now, I think. You going to move the pages to ibiblio?

Still unanswered questions . . .

Shouldn't (Alternate: 'vncviewer remote-host:0) be (Alternate: 'vncviewer remote-host:0') or (Alternate: vncviewer remote-host:0)?

Why isn't there an etc/refractainstaller.conf on my squeeze install?

Just checked all the commands in the release notes and I think everything's there.
