I don't understand what the problem is, I'm trying to help. I've identified several bugs in Haiku, and I consider this just another bug.Yes, the website is beautiful, yes Haiku the OS is beautiful! Praises all around...
You ask me to help after basically berating me and telling me I only see the bad. I'm critical, that's just the way I am. Better to be critical than silent, at least now it will get fixed.
Anyways, yes I do volunteer and maintain an unrelated non-profit website myself. I will look Haiku's website over and let you know if I see anything else (as long as I don't get scolded!). If there's anything I should look at before publishing let me know.
Also, now for some more negativity (I guess as you see it), where is the donation component of the site? Shouldn't there be a module on the front page for this? I realize from what I've read in the mailing list that the website is still incomplete, but I figured after waiting this long it would be more or less finalized.

You seem to have the unique ability to filter out the good and see only the bad.I didn't really look, but I hope there aren't more mistakes.If you are so concerned, why not take the time to *really* look and help us fix what may be wrong? This is a community collaborative effort after all.To me, nothing bothers me more than seeing a professional website with spelling or grammatical errors. Perhaps a native English speaker could double-check official Haiku announcements, or anything that ends up on the front page.Do you volunteer?I know it's a collaborative effort, but I hope that Haiku will take more care in this regard. I'm already having flashbacks of Zeta's website!Very touching compliment. Those of us who spend a lot of time on helping out Haiku really appreciate your words of encouragement.Cheers, KokiFrom: "Ryan Leavengood" <leavengood@xxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [openbeos] Re: spelling?

When I said alt I meant the alt attribute in the img tag used in the HTML. It has the correct English and I think the image should be changed to match.
