New Paradigma Website; Your Feedback Wanted

[Mark Schonewille]

I largely agree with Beatrix. It seems to me that the design of the 
front door has changed, while the house stayed the same.

You must understand that the only reason for me to visit your website is 
to solve a problem. I don't want to have to click three times before I 
can start solving my problem; I definitely don't want to have to search 
around for the SQL reference manual, for instance. Please, make a list 
of all the really important stuff for developers and put that list under 
a link on your main page. This list must include the reference manual, 
it doesn't need to include the FAQ (FAQs are for marketing, not for 
developers).

The categories are Studio, Server and Developer. The latter has categories: Database for applications, Reports for applications, Server for distributions. Eh what? What is the difference to the main Server category? I never got the reason for the name "Office Server". It's used for in-house applications, why not call it this way?

Why do I need to click 3 times for viewing the download? The release notes show nothing. The mouse over of all buttons for downloading makes the button larger, which looks rather odd.
