I just wanted to throw out some comments on the web page. These are 
reflective of my own philosophy of design (simple, and usable) so take 
it or leave it as you please.


* Putting news first may be nice for those who are familiar with jEdit, 
but not for those coming for the first time. The "About jEdit" doesn't 
even show on the screen without scrolling and 80% of web users never 
scroll (this may not be quite as true for visitors looking for a 
programmers editor). Maybe they should be split, so that the news items 
are listed on the right in another box.

* The new white background is much better. At least the menu is 
noticeable. I still think the Download link should be more prominent. 
Those who are familiar with the site can look for what they need. Those 
who aren't are looking to download.

* How about a link from 'Latest stable version' to the download page?

* The development page says "There are two sample plugins" and then 
lists three...

* The color that indicates a link is very close to the color of the rest 
of the text. How about using rgb(153,153,204) for the link color?
