Well, the right sidebar is a good idea. I think we should not use the left one on the documentation pages as that would require us to rebuild the documentation too often to renew the surveys an gborg stats...

> I think this looks like it's about ready for primetime now Andreas - the only problems I could see are that the fonts are still smaller than we now use on the site,

The left and right bars and the menu should have the same font sizes as on the main site. I have not yet updated the templates for the inner pages...

For me here in Germany it shows 4 FTP mirrors for example... I think that 'is' wouldn't be grammatically correct then?

Well, the simple anser: It won't. The links to the download.htm and to the mirrors.htm are currently hardcoded to the main website, as the actions for all the forms are.

Hmm, I'm not sure how that would look - might be a bit odd. Perhaps it shou=
ld stay as it is.

It's the main body text I noticed which is still different even on the inde=
x page.

It would be if you changed 'this mirrors' to 'these mirrors' as well.
