Thanks for the feedback, good stuff. BTW, please do try the nav on mobile devices, especially tablets. They work there, too, and I think our designers did something especially slick :)

Just checked it out on my tablet (iPad) - I don't see much of a difference (of course, it's responsive!) except for the menu, which works pretty well :) Minor points: - When in "mobile mode", the search box changes colour so it doesn't look like a text input any more. I'm not sure if that's a good idea. - I agree with the others on this one again: the gradients and the shadows are a bit excessive. Maybe you could try a "flat" shadow instead? (ie. a shadow with a 0 blur radius) - I really loved the old docs search mechanism where the site had a local index of keywords and could search without hitting the server. I hope you don't lose that. - I'm not sure what the concept of the two navigation bars is. What is the top bar for, and what's the second bar for? I see "Documentation" in two places. Logically speaking, I'd expect the upper bar to be the primary navigation, and the lower bar to be the secondary navigation, but clearly, that isn't the case. Anyway, is this open source as of now? Where can I contribute?

  The code's not open source yet, but it will be. The idea is we'll deliver what we've promised to the PSF, then launch the site for real (i.e. replace python.org) and open source the code at the same time. We want to make this into a community-maintained thing, but first we got some real work to do :)

    Is it implemented in Django?

        Nice trick!

      Yes the website is running Django 1.5 on Python 3.3 :)

  I suppose the trick with the navigation only works on certain touch devices? Does not work on my phone.

It is great on an iPad. Works very well.

Here are some annotated screenshots of the design on my mobile devices: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2Fy-Q78JeVpV3UyOGpnSVZ0UVE/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2Fy-Q78JeVpV3UyOGpnSVZ0UV... (The higher-rez ones are from Chrome running on my Galaxy Note; the lower-rez ones are from the stock browser on a Galaxy Ace)
