I like the new web site design, I also like some of the work Panos had done 
even more but that's life!!!  :-}



I understand that you don't like the "Help Button" but it is well known that 
you only have a few seconds to get the user sent in the right direction and 
as I know from my frustration all too often sites fail at this first step. 
Help on the bar is good but the "Help Button" sends anybody frustrated and 
about to give up in the right direction without having to read the bar. They 
should then be taken to a list of common early problems; FAQs are to general 
and you get lost in the noise. Link back to the FAQs and anything else for 
further information are however very helpful.



A good way to categorise the common early problems is by the error messages 
received by the user (hopefully he will get some) because that is the way 
the problem is seen. I expect the list of known installation problems will 
grow quit quickly but will remain relatively short. Clear and precise 
answers to specific questions will help everybody resolve the issues 
quickly. An email address or a form to ask specific questions on would make 
it even more helpful for the lost and blind, me included. The question page 
should also encourage the novice into providing the right information, 
remember he may have installed "Ubuntu 5" just so he can have Jokosher and 
he probably doesn't know anything about Gstreamer and Gnonlin.



Again, sorry I have been of no real help, it's frustrating!
