I didn't see an announce for the new layout? not already sent or did I miss it?
Sorry that it took so long and thanks everyone for being patient with me! Special thanks to darix for doing a nightshift yesterday to update the templates and the server!

The splash screen currently has only got a search box for searching the English wiki. We are planning to dd a drop-down for other wikis, too - probably in mid-November.
I'd propose an important enhancement for the splash screen: There are probably several people/links like "http://opensuse.org/Download" out there which currently get a "404 not found" :-( Please - redirect those requests to / (or /?p=Download) - append the requested document to the wiki links, so that they link to en.opensuse.org/Download and de.opensuse.org/Download for example.
Implementing this should be trivial with mod_rewrite and some PHP code (SSI might work also).
When this is done, I'll remember you about the "preferred language" cookie and a script to set it ;-)
BTW: If you see a page with a broken layout, please try Shift+Reload to get the new css files...
Still the horrible expiration times? ;-) (just checked...) well, they are down to one day which is much better - but still not ideal when doing massive changes.
The login page [1] still has the old menu items in the header. And, extra bug, the links go to www.opensuse.org/index.php/Communicate etc. (-> 404) :-/ Please update it - and also include the code in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=143229 in the new version to make logging in a bit easier.
