@Lecta

I have one, when you click on home in the top-menu from
the news-page it wants to go to the "home.html" and
gives an error. That should be "index.html".

Btw. it gives the same error in the bottom-menu on the
same news-page.

Heh. Please. Just because this site display "fine" it dosen't makes it any less broken when it comes to HTML. See documentation on W3C.


And that means exactly what to the end user going to the site to look for information? People don't view HTML in their browser, they view webpage content. I didn't go there to check their site for it's HTML correctness, I went to see the content that was available, and was able to view it just fine. That has nothing to do with how good the page looks.

While you are at it, could you at least add a Doctype to your page as well?

Oh, wow. My page is down for the weekend as I fix something. Secondly, I'm not trying to sell anything on this site, but just for you, let me give you a hint, OK?

Okay. Heck, Genesi, Power.org, Freescale, Microsoft, Apple and even Dell cannot generate a page without errors. Maybe you want to get on these sites too about their broken HTML:

I love this excuse! See, others also has b0rken stuff, so we can do the same. How about doing better for a change? And yes, actually we had quite a discussion about HTML at Genesi. But since it's Matt and Andre in charge my opinion didn't matter.

You know what would be nice for a change? To just let people enjoy the fact that SAM has a nice looking website up and running without coming in and trying to throw something negative in about it. THAT'S what would be nice. In other words, stop being a nit-picking ass

I don't know what are you viewing it on but here on Firefox2 the scroll stops when you hover the mouse pointer over it.

Very nice and professional webpage!

I noticed something strange in the english version:

"The board sports some interesting peculiarities: a compact and clean design and the presence of unique components such as the FPGA Latex XP chip ."

Is that a typo meant to be "FPGA Lattice XP chip", or what is a Latex XP chip?

Only thing I would mention which makes the site look a little ghastly is this:



Why are the title texts saved as nasty compressed JPEGS when they could easy be saved as 16 colour GIF images, which would not decrease their quality and would look a gazillion times better.

Just constructive criticism, other than that it's looking good!

Do we know if they have an OS4 license yet? Sorry if this question has been asked before, I've been away for a while just lurking and watching for progress updates.

I'd really like to do some development for OS4, but no hardware/software is currently available.

Fingers crossed I suppose
