What kind of feedback we are looking for? We are interested in:

* ''Your overall feeling'': keep in mind it is an early beta and is a work in progress. It isn't a beta, we won't change anything until the launch.

* ''Navigational problems'': the first goal is to be able to reach all the information. We know that it was difficult with the old design, we hope it is better, but we may forgotten something.

** in articles: we have in-content element that may not fit well, we are interested in a list. Especially if you use a lesser known part of the MDN that is not the Open Web document where we probably have missed it. We have added quick links, but these are experimental: feel free to tell us if they help you or not.

** at different sizes. Keep in mind that even if we aim to support small screens, we are not done there yet. But anything 10" or greater shouldn't show major problem.

* ''Speed'': we don't have performed any specific optimization here, but there shouldn't be less good now than before. If you noticed strange things, be sure to tell us.

* ''Search'': we have a new search engine, not using Google anymore, so we are interested in the quality of the results. We have added the ability to set filters. Try using them, tell us if they work, if the quality of results is good and so on.

Really don't hesitate to give us information. The more feedback of good quality we get the more we will be able to consider in the next cycle beginning now.
 
Try to be precise and specific, it helps us. If you are using bugzilla, one problem per bug please, if you are using dev-mdc, you can of course put several points in your e-mail. But try to use different paragraphs, maybe numbered, so that it can be more easily referenced and evaluated.
 
We are very excited with this redesign and we want to improve it a lot in the next few months: your feedback is a very important element in achieving this.
 
Thank you in advance! And let's test!
