completely new layout of gimp site

Hi

I want you to show completely new layout of gimp.org instead of this one at next.gimp.org

This is just a prototape.

Here's a link http://ps6.webd.pl/gimpweb/gimp_org.png

It is over 600kb png file so be patient

I like it, it's better than the current one. But I suggest some changes: 1) there's too much wasted space on the top. this is the place that users see first, and currently it's a green bg. The dark menu should be on top. 2) the text should be text, not images. This font looks nice, but it seems not common. I haven't read the html, but it shouldn't be implemented as images just to use that font. This allows for users to change size and even the font (from useit).
3) there's 2 menus that look similar. it's better to have just one or make two menus with clearly different purposes. 4) -minor- there's 3 green bgs. Why not use an image bg and a solid color bg?
5) -minor- the dark menu could be horizontal (placed on top of the website). also there's no need to label it "menu". the blueish color may be used as a hover effect.
6) there's no graphics, at minimum place a logo that links to the /index.html (from useit, in /index.html it shouldn't be a link) and -optional- some screenshots.

Please post this to the gimp-web mailing-list. Here is not the place to discuss the web-site. And perhaps it would be a good idea to wait until the new site has gone online. Currently people are working hard on preparing everything for the GIMP 2.4 release and they are likely not going to have time to consider yet another web-site layout.

1.Yes, the top is too big but I can be easily reduced by almost a half.

2. But it looks nice however it be changed with more common font

3. As a matter of fact submenu is optional too.

4,5,6 This is just prototype
