    15 > [wiki:seanegan]: Looks great. With the logo text, and two purple pigeons on the left side, I think it perhaps is a bit too cluttered and off-balance, especially with the two pigeons. Maybe the logo text is a bit too big, also. I would remove the full-body pigeon and either leave that space empty, or perhaps replace him with one of our smileys.
    16 >> [wiki:kstange]: A friend of mine agrees with this.  He suggested moving the Pidgin / download box to the right side to balance it better.  I agree the two Pidgins create an unbalanced appearance.

    1818> [wiki:seanegan]: I was about to suggest making the "Download" box a speech bubble, potentially coming out of the suggested smiley's mouth, and then looked closely and realized it already was. This should probably be more obviously a speech bubble, or not one at all.
     
    2222> [wiki:seanegan]: It would be cool if the page matched the Tango style guidelines ([http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines]) the same way that Pidgin does. In particular, the "download" and "learn more" buttons are a bit too shiny.

    24 > [wiki:kstange]: If it's possible to detect the browser platform without Javascript, I think it would be better to generate the download box on the server-side, though I'm not sure if the User-Agent would provide enough information.  I'm likewise not certain you can tell someone is using Ubuntu/Fedora/DistroX even if you do use javascript.  The arch and platform should be determinable with the User-Agent alone.

     26> [wiki:kstange]: What difference does it make if it's done client-side or sever-side? I posted a link somewhere in Trac to client-side tricks you can do to see what IM clients are already installed, so that the protocol list can be prioritized. Certainly not crucial, but probably a fun hack.
