More design disscussion ;)

Hi,
reading the lots of mails, here again my (bit changed) opinions/arguments:

Some people seem to want that kde.org is a portal to the real content holding 
*.kde.org/* pages, or ? Wouldn't the dual menu layout fit with that need very 
much ? In the end, the content on kde.org will be mainly, as said by someone 
before: Some announcements, some news, that was it in the end. You have a 
quick to find search function to search through kde.org and that was it. That 
the content may be a bit squeezed on little screen won't hurt that much for 
that bit of text. (And I don't see the loose of usability for that, as for a 
portal it is much nicer to have many links at once visible than to scroll 
down a lot to a least view what you search for)

The other pages will hold much more information, news, full 
faqs/howtos/documentation, .... For them I surely agree that a one (left) 
sided menu is much better, as it simply frees up space. If the portal idea is 
taken, we even can vanish most family links and instead provide links back to 
the portal page. (mentioned too by someone else before ;) As Sebastian's one 
and dual sided menus design just fit very fine together (from the look'n'feel 
point of view), wouldn't it be nice to use (surely bit modified: font's, 
colors, perhaps location of search box of the one side menu design) them for 
that ?

just my 2 cent
Christoph
