Currently, I'm working again on the color scheme. I've already "heard" some 
other people say that the blue headlines are too bright. I will use a darker 
blue now ... You will find this in 
www/international/germany/todo/keramik/index2.html

Personally, I'm not convinced of creating several sections (as discusse 
earlier) - and reshuffling the navbar seems to be the best way for me. But 
this is just my personal opinion. I think we will find a good consensus here.

This depends on the maintainer responsible for the other pages. Personally, I 
will adopt it for pim.kde.org and also for www.kde.de. I'm not sure what will 
happen with the layout of korganizer.kde.org as the layout-question is always 
a "co-production" with Cornelius Schumacher. We will see.

Hopefully, many other pages will adopt the new layout, too. On the other hand, 
it's important for the "representing" pages to have a common look - developer 
pages have a separate status here ...

You mean the top headline " | kde.org | faq | download | screenshots | news | 
contact us | " ?

This sounds very good. One alternative I saw on another KDE page was to 
exchange the address (e.g. multimedia.kde.org) with e.g. "KDE Multimedia". 
But the way you propose it seems to be much better as the several 
family-pages are really integrated in the whole page and there's no 
separation. On the other hand, you (as visitor of the page) don't know that 
the given link will leave the main kde.org webpage - but is this a problem?

I start a todo-list (exported by KOrganizer). You find it at 
www/international/germany/todo/keramik/keramik-todo.html

Hm, we could also keep the /inc-directory and call the file "file.php" ...

Klaus
