Shouldn't the static site have a language list in it's first page? Having to navigate through: |

# browse the site in your native language... |

Not to mention that the [http://www.laptop.org/en/languages.shtml list] is sorted by what looks like a random function and no distinction is made between the '''old style''' and the '''new style''' of the site... |

My suggestion is: |

# have a list of links to the '''new version languages''' available in the '''[http://www.laptop.org/ front-page]''' (per language or included?) |

# maybe have a last option denoting something like ''older versions'', which is a link to the [http://www.laptop.org/en/languages.shtml list] |

# re-organize the list of available languages either by language/site-version or site-version/language or something... |

Problem with the new links modification
If a language link for e.g. Portuguese is selected under the spanish version of [languages], it shows error "404 not found". The other language versions have the same problem. A possible solution for that is to use the full url address.
- You are correct. Since the depth of the relative path can vary depending upon how you enter the site, I guess I have no choice but to use absolute pathnames. Thanks for catching this. --Walter 08:23, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
