[John Mulholland]

Thanks for the feedback.

I am completely in agreement with all comments about W3c compatability. 
If someone can help with a replacement drop down menu please contact me 
direct.

I have the day off word today, so I am going to put some more work in on 
the site. Resizing the top level banner is a top priority! And I am 
working on some introductions to the site for different user types- 
links on front page. This is all very much work in progress so if anyone 
wants to help....please do!

I can also be reached on msn; mulholland_john at hotmail.com for a chat 
anytime.

Would really welcome some help in categorising the software sections and 
sub sections in particular. And of course, replacing that javascript.

Thanks again to all on the list for your feedback.

the sun is shining here! I hope you all have a good day ;)

John



I guess the page is currently under heavy development. I think 
it's a very good idea to create such a page so novice users 
can get an immediate overview over the most important linux 
audio applications.

I'd like to share the following thoughts:

* I'd remove most of the JS code
* I'd resize the top level banner. It wastes lots of 
screenspace. No prob here (1400x1050) but I guess there are 
still citicens with 800x600 on the web
* OK, content will be done over time

I really like the idea so thanks for the work.


Best regards
