Very, very, very nice!!  The whole look and feel is very appealing.

I like the idea of the names on the bricks.  We'll obviously have to add
a lot more names to make sure we keep everybody happy... python, perl,
php, Ajunta, Kdevelop, etc, etc....  It portrays a powerful message of
how all of these are building blocks on the same wall!!  Great idea!!

I suggest that the content needs a bit more focus though.  Can we try a
darker font and bigger font on the tabs on the left.  Same for the
content.

How about using different tools next to the tabs on the left, such as:
- troth
- tape measure
- spirit level
- wheelbarrow 
- spade
- bag of cement
- etc.

I will probably be hard to find tools that apply to the headings, but it
will stick to the theme.

Regards
Charl
