Led by Maarten Brouwers, the Website team has designed and implemented a clean new style that we believe will make it easier to find OpenOffice.org, download it, and learn about it and the project that has grown with it. Thanks to Maarten, to Ivan Miskovic, the lead designer, Christian Lohmaier, chief infrastrucure wizard, and to Graham Lauder, who came up with the basic action statements idea, Kay Schenk, Alexandro Colorado, André Wyrwa, and the many others not mentioned here but no less important to the effort who contributed their ideas, night hours and persistence to doing this--and doing it right.
