I really like the new web site "look" (thanks, Bastien!): I tested it on a Mac with recent versions of Firefox, Safari and Opera and was (so far) very pleased with both usability and aesthetics. However, that was on a machine with a large screen and I can imagine that some layout and font decisions could be improved for smaller systems - it does not work so well on the iPhone where I also did some testing. Almost every web site has that problem - the solution usually is to provide more than one stylesheet and provide a suitable one depending on the browser identification; this works well with most SmartPhones and the iPad. We have some institute-internal services that do this (not difficult to implement with PHP) - is this an option for the current orgmode-site? 

Warm regards,
 Stefan
