Ah, ok. You got me confused there, because I was referring to the 
Development page. :)

Sorry, but I reverted back to the original indentation. As a rule of 
thumb, you indent bullet lists (and what may be within them). "For 
Haiku", "For BeOS..." and "For Linux" are subtitles used to categorize 
the bullet lists, but are not bullets themselves, so they should not be 
indented to help visualize each group of bullets. Also, the linux 
section is not a bullet list (it's a sentence), so it should be not 
indented either.
You do have a point that a little space at the bottom of this section to 
visually separate it from the "Development Community" block would be 
beneficial, so I added an extra line; not very high-tech, but it works. :)
How about the content? Any techies here that could confirm that the 
content of this lists is acurrate? Niels? Or do we run it through a 
couple of devs just in case?
Cheers,

Koki
