Peter 5Jun12: a couple of nice changes there James. I like the flags note a the top of the page and I really like moving the FAQ band down into the "Using Audacity" box.
Can't we just lose the note box that says what this manual is faor and what it's not for? It does say clearly enough "on the tin".
  • Gale 05Jun12: I quite strongly disagree about the FAQ change. I feel the FAQ is now less prominent yet looks jarring. Structurally, the Sidebar clearly shows FAQ as not inside Using Audacity and the Wiki front page shows the FAQ as separate. I'm all for tweaking the FAQ box above Using Audacity to jazz it up a bit more. I really like the new div with flags for translations, though the bullet seems to detract from it, so I removed it for now.
    • @Peter: I think something is needed to divert people away from here. That div is noexport, so not dumped. We could say instead of "not for", "Click here for legacy 1.2 documentation."
