1 +I like the fat footer.
2 +
3 +Some random questions and suggestions:
4 +* Demo sounds a bit "business-y"... Couldn't it be named "Playground" (since I suppose it is the link to playground.xwiki.org anyway)?
5 +* The first group of links in the Documentation column is the only one without a title, and for this reason it looks a bit misplaced. As a quick fix, I'd move them to the bottom of the column, under the title "Miscellaneous" (or something like that).
6 +* Also in the Documentation column: in my opinion, the natural order (wrt the amount of knowledge) is: User's Guide, Admin's Guide, Dev's Guide.
7 +* In the Development column: I'm not sure "Playing with XWiki" is the right title for the second group, I'd go for something more serious here.
8 +* General: I think the order of the topics should be consistent as much as possible in the menu and footer.

1 +Stupid question: Why do we need such a footer if all these entries are available from the menus at the top?
2 +
3 +I feel it may make the page more heavy than it could be, especially on pages that have little content and where you see both the header and footer.
4 +
5 +I don't have a strong opinion right now but I'm just curious about the rationale for the fat footer.

1 +It's like a constantly available site map. It helps the user discover the site, because it gives a good overview of the available information (here, you can see it all at once, while the upper menu can be explored one entry at a time). Also, normally it's not very intrusive, because such footers are supposed to appear in smaller print and lower contrast.

1 +This footer is supposed to be only on the Main page. This way the user has a quick overview on the topics the website is covering. Please see

1 +'Get involved' is the only menu item that ask the user to do something being the only verb (mm except download). It will be a nice idea to differentiate it somehow, or to find another place for it. Maybe a different color or bgcolor or as a subtle button and not a menu item.
