It's limit when use FreeBSD.org's header and stuff. So, looks like add a simple light grey table with blockquote should look ok and good without any of fancy table with shadow. So... What are you (guys/gals) want to work on? Try to avoid work on the same things. Current, I am thinking about work on the left side menu. Need to turn sentence into a simple words and smaller.

I think, the FAQ need to split and FAQ should be for known stuff, quick/short and etc (feel free to correct me). Which, meaning some of us can write more stuff. Short of walk-throught like FreeBSD's offical handbook. Maybe, later if it can merges in the offical handbook. Perhaps, some better word(s) instead use 'Handbook' to avoid the confuse? -[3] I think, it should be under the 'Documentation' area. :-) This link points to the 'short version' handbook of Gnome 1.x and 2.x on FreeBSD. -[4] Not sure how it should work. Point to FAQ or 'small version' handbook? methink should be in the 'small version' handbook. -[5] If there's none, remove it. Should we add two more links to point at Gnome's 1.x and 2.x doc website? Like, add under 'Known Issue' or 'Resources'. Any feedback on this? What's your thought? Hey Joe, can you add in something like freebsd.org/gnome/test/ or else? So, we can send the diff to you, then you upload stuff there while it will have some broke links and etc. Cheers, Mezz >Joe > >-- >Joe Marcus Clarke >FreeBSD GNOME Team :: marcus@FreeBSD.org >http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
