Don't think in terms of just the front page. :) The wiki, for <br />
instance, has quite a bit of content.<br />
<br />
Static layouts are bad. Period. I'm with Jaffa 100% here, a fluid <br />
layout is required. Preferably one that's as fluid as it can possibly <br />
be. For example: http://liqbase.garage.maemo.org/working/ Play with <br />
the text size, play with the window size. It's basically unbreakable. ;)<br />
<br />
Obviously 100% fluid isn't a realistic goal, especially when you throw <br />
pretty graphics into the mix, but we should definitely be shooting for <br />
a design that's as flexible for the user as possible.<br />
