Your mockup really looks great! However, I do think we really have to be careful about using flags though. E.g. if a Chinese user sees a Taiwanese flag, they may not take it the right way or vice-versa. Seriously. See the amount of discussion the issue generated about the usage of flags on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Use_of_flags_in_articles/Archive_1#Use_of_flags_for_non-sovereign_nations Nicu, I'm not sure about your point on the website being hosted in the USA? Wherever the site is hosted, if a flag is handled with a lack of sensitivity to some issue we may not even be aware of, it can still be seen by the potentially-offended parties, no? (Even China could block our site yet still there would be the possibility of upsetting some other nation?) I'll bring this issue up with the board and see what they think. I think your mockup will be of help in the discussion, Jef! ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
