Folks,

Last weekend I've spend some time to improve the website and reduce the 
load on the machine when we hit some mayor websites during the release. 
It still needs some 4.10 additions like a tour, but that will follow in 
the next weeks.

http://www-test.xfce.org has a new frontage and uses some new-browser 
techniques like base64 images in the css to reduce the number of 
requests, less javascript etc.

I've also setup a round-robin dns cdn.xfce.org for static image 
content, to offload the php/prefork machine and redirect content to 
other machines. This is live on www.xfce.org already (spreading over the 
threaded servers tibeti and kopiluwak).

If there are any problems with the www-test website let me know.

Nick
