This is a very nice looking page. Well done Pierre-Arnaud!

I take it the "LDAP Browser Feature", "LDIF Editor Feature" etc links
with magnifying glasses will go to other pages once it's live? (I got a
little confused over them!)

Sort of off topic: does anyone else think the sub-project links along
the top of the page should be made to stand out a bit more?  Every time
I go to directory.apache.org I go straight to the links down the side
and end up at either a download page or a documentation page.

Oh, and while I'm at it the site scrolls down very slowly (in firefox
at least) - I think that's because of the fixed background image.

This is way better than what we had before !

Sometime, I wonder if we are talented at all when it comes to GUI and 
Web pages, but I may just do a sed s/we are/I am/ ... It's obvious that

this proposal has much more 'professional touch' that the one we 
currently have !

Thanks Pierre-Arnaud !
