If I go there now, the links are all inconsistent and wrap badly, the login box isn’t aligned, I couldn’t find the downloads, and I’m just not very happy with the way it looks. When you navigate around the pages, the panels jump about. There is inconsistent typography in headings, margins, line breaks and font sizes, the resources page doesn’t contain any resources, the resource panel is repeated on both the showcases and resources page, the FAQ page has styles all of its own and there’s a ton other stuff: it’s all just a bit of a mess if you ask me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m not putting down the work that has gone into it, but I know we can do a lot better than this: it just doesn’t feel finished, and it doesn’t inspire me with confidence in the tools.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>At the moment I would prefer to put v2.0 on the main Xerte web site and direct people there, and we can continue working on the community site now we’ve got this tranche of development work out of the way.
