Hi, Here are my comments on the new MCF website available at http://mcf.sourceforge.net/newpage/ - in images (http://mcf.sourceforge.net/newpage/images/) I see some GIF images. I suggest that we replace them with PNG images. - the Sourceforge logo is supposed to be http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=47402 . There are also different versions of the logo and I suggest using this guideline : http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=790&group_id=1 It's a simple and good way to thank SourceForge for the hosting :) - place some title and/or alt text informations when you includes images on a web page - test the pages in lynx (or links) to make sure all valuable informations are available. - I see that all the pages have URLs like http://mcf.sourceforge.net/newpage/?content=Project Page (notice the blank space in the URL :( ) . This is not acceptable for various reasons : * many search engines don't collect informations on dynamic pages. And we definitely want to be searchable in a good way * using one page for a whole site (index.php ?) can look sexy from a coders point of view. But it's a hell to maintain (especially for people using Dreamweaver or who don't know PHP). * there is no need for dynamic content on most of this pages. This would be MUCH easier to use simple static (X)HTML in this case. Design consistency can be enforced with CSS Stylesheets and maybe SSI includes (don't know if Sourceforge support that). The rest seem to be OK (section selection for ex). I still haven't read the front page. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
