As the subject says...
It is still somewhat incomplete, e.g. there is nothing yet in the code section,
and the Estonian version is not ready. But most of the other stuff should work.
Note that it looks best with style sheets and JavaScript enabled, however
neither is necessary.

IMHO slashdot.org is a must for the tech links section :)
Also you might consider renaming the "link" section to "links" or "linx" since
there are multiple links there
Apart from that I like the simplicity of it - it looks well thought out & the
colour scheme is nice - not to flash, but pleasant.

	MS or NS version of javascript interpretation?

Hehe... :-)
Sorry, Margus...I think people just like colorful sites. Maybe if you 
scatter a lot of saturated colors and graphics around until the site 
takes half an hour to load...

Note for everyone outside the TAG and POV-Team: there was quite a bit of 
discussion about the colors on the site, Margus has been trying to get 
it "light enough" for a while now. :-)

I don't think that you could deduce that from my remark. Darkness is not the
same as lack of saturation. It's more about a lack of contrast.

Oops, sorry, I should keep out of this.

MS, mainly, although some of it also works in NS 6.
It's just minor eye-candy, though.

Could you point out what elements of the page lack contrast?

On the contrary! I just kept it within the TAG initially because it is my first
real attempt at webdesign and I didn't want to show my newbie a** in the public
right away. Since the deed is done now, I'd really appreciate your opinion.

I'm not sure about that, i changed from dark to a brighter version some
time ago and most people i asked showed positive reactions.  I used quite
strong colors in both versions but i already considered a more harmonic
color scheme.

I think usually a bright background is considered as beeing more 'serious'
but i don't think that can be generalized.

I like Margus Ramst's page design, although it's somewhat empty right now
:-)
BTW it runs well on Netscape 4.7.

OK, comments, (You asked for that!)

It would be better, if this upper menu bar works by clicking on the
whole area of selection, not only by clicking over text. Currently I
tried several times to click on the area near the text and wondered, why
nothing happened. Sure, one can see link's active area by change of
mouse pointer, but it is not very intuitive. Other possibility is to
change background of text area to give cue to user. Don't know, how
hard/easy that would be, though. This applies to JavaScript version, in
pure HTML links are underlined and it is not problem (at least for me).

One thing, which annoys me, is the change of text position in menu bar:
click on code, then on scenes: "code" menu item (its text) shifts to the
right.

"code" pull-down menu remains opened, if user selects "scenes" or
"tools", "gallery"'s pull-down  does not remain open. IMHO it should
behave consistently.

If some page contains more information than fits on display and this
information is divided into separate sections (as it is in Link page),
then it would be good to have overview of page in the top of page (I
mean list of sections with links to them).

If there is no back/next link available, then such text should probably
not be displayed or it should be indicated clearly, that this link is
unavailable (in the bottom of table). Now with JavaScript version one
can't see, whether link works or not without trying.

Some indication of image sizes in Gallery pages would be good, but don't
have idea, how to display it without going too technical and changing
current layout. Or is the size consideration unimportant  nowadays?

As others said, it could be to use more contrast. Colour scheme is
somewhat depressing, but I can understand this, especially at this time
of year...

Just my EEK 10.00 (sorry about price, but beer costs that much nowadays
;o)

IMHO when I saw that the code links were empty I was afraid to click on the gallery
links--would they be empty, too?
