*sigh*
You're right. I sort of wish we had gotten our act together sooner. Oh
well, live and learn. We'll do better for Mga3.

Also, about my last comment about the logo in the background. I think I
should clarify: the logo as it is is both visible and unobtrusive. It
clearly brands the image as part of Mageia and doesn't attract too much
attention to itself, allowing people to view the image unencumbered.
My question was more about the use of the shadow behind the logo (which
helps it stand out but not so much that it pokes you in the eye). Is that
OK as far as not changing the logo is concerned?
