We also don't really need a link to AppDB from the big buttons in the front - AppDB is only the place to go when you're looking for it (hence the button in the upper right) or once you know something about Wine (hence a link in the about page).
I disagree. You could make the same argument against bugzilla/forums/wiki. The frontpage should serve as a portal to the rest of the site. Many times when I needs appdb/wiki, I go to winehq.org and then click the appropriate link.
I'm not arguing against that - we absolutely should have an AppDB and a bugzilla link in the corner. They're very useful.
I'm just saying such a link doesn't have to also be among the large, friendly buttons at the left, which is where a complete newcomer's eyes are drawn. A newcomer who doesn't know what they're looking for, and thus probably doesn't want AppDB or Bugzilla yet (but does probably want About, Download, or Support)
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
I'm not a fan of the huge buttons and links, I think they're an eyesore.
I would prefer it to look like how wiki is here http://wine.codeweavers.com/winehq_new/wiki.html Also I think the latest news about the project should be a centrepiece like it is in the existing design, not swept away to the side,
