First to consider your first email. I don't think we're going to have a 
scroll down fold, so it's not a big issue anymore. The thing we want 
people to do is download, which is going to be the top left panel of the 
six, so it should be easy to see.

These three sites look similar and were likely made with a similar 
template. They have a horizontal layout. They look sort of busy, which 
is good. Lots of little details but no mooring focus. You look left and 
right a lot.

I think the layout we have at the moment fans out from the upper left 
corner, so it has a focus and motion fanning outward. What those sites 
do have is a dynamic use of color. And one has a great background graphic.

Maybe the bar across the top of our site needn't be black. It could be a 
darker hue of a color in the background. The emberjs.com and SproutCore 
sites do that well. Maybe we could have cobalt blue bar at the top and 
background of a lighter shade of blue.
