New main page is great

New main page is great

Hi, I just want to say that I really like the new main page. It is really tidy now and does not scare off potential translators. One little suggestion: Perhaps it is possible to condense the part above the project list to reduce the space needed there (margin-top and margin-bottom). Right now, you are using a lot of blanc space which increases the hight of the page. To my personal experience it is always better to reduce scrolling. Cheers --kgh 08:34, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for a kudos. It cost many sof us a lot of sweat :)

I have removed the whitespace I could find, and that didn't appear to reduce whitespace between the top and bottom halves. Would appreciate help. Please create a concept for an update, making a copy of the main page in Main Page/draft and make the updates there. Please let us know when done so we can assess the result.

I looked at the browser preview of the new main page. Between the text

Translatewiki.net is a localisation platform for translation communities, language communities, and free and open source projects.

and the button

Start Translating

is shown a <p> tag containing a <br /> tag only: <p><br /></p>. The same is between the text of

Assistive technologies

and

We are looking for help.

The <p> tag inserts a new line before and after text and <br /> additionally a line break.

That whitespace is there on purpose, to separate the main informational items from the less immidiate links to information.

This is ok and useful to my opinion. As Siebrand interpreted correctly I meant the space between the two main sections.

I will post a solution if I find one. However I am a bit puzzled at the moment. Not that this is very hard, but... Cheers --kgh 21:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC) If somebody is faster: Go for it!
