<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This navigation in the right column is creating more trouble than expected. I reckon I didn't dislike it when it was drafted but I think we have to reconsider it, specially if we want to optimize things for the tablets. And we are going for fixed width. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Although well, I guess the right navigation still can be saved if we work better optimizing spaces, fonts and so on.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A good example is </FONT><A HREF="http://ruby-lang.org"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://ruby-lang.org</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> and its lovely yet simple design. I wish we had something like this for maemo, everything looks like being in its placed, well balanced and with a diversity of elements that make every page interesting to the eyes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Don't get me wrong, this is not a hack we need to solve this week. But I think is a discussion we need to have, in the context of improvements to the current layout design.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What do you think?</FONT>
