What I think I'd like are coloured tables like the front of wikipedia where NeoOffice and NeoLight are side by side, and OO.oX11 is at the bottom (though in a position less like a step-child)

well, now i have them =D except i don't have enough content to make the neolight part look right... =\ maybe move neooffice to the top and make neolight and oo.ox11 sit next to each other? or shorten neooffice description? lengthen the neolight one? where is smokey when i need him????

let me think about this. somewhere in my addled brain i know how to get this to work. you could always embed the two yellowcolumn templates inside another table with tr valign="top", but i'm sure there's a cleaner way. we also should find (or make) some transparent gulls.

Help:Table is my hero! (hmm, do we have a shorthand for linking to meta?)

The other thing that looks funny is the description stuff. it's one line in the middle of the images and then a bunch of stuff wrapping below the image. we might need to tweak the layout/arrangement yet.

i really think Neo needs to go all the way across. just too much stuff crammed into a narrow column otherwise. neolight and ooo can split the width on the bottom, since the both have less info.

Ok, i played with the layout, i think this looks better (neo on top, x11 and neolight at the bottom) but i cannot get the white background to go away inside the table. still working on that. (i even used pure HTML, blah) and we may need another coloured box, but don't know what... green? light gray? if i can't get the white to go away, maybe just white... but that is so boring =)
