1) I agree with the light background and white text comment, making the
green lighter and changing the text to a dark gray would look better. I
think the right column looks fine as it is though personally.
2) The content is quite cramped on the left column. I just put the text
there quickly to see what text looks like. Ideally it'd list features of
Adium. It's always great to know what the application does, and the features
it has on the index page.

Here's a couple of examples of what I thinking:

http://proteusx.org/About.html
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/
http://www.growl.info/about.php

Basically an icon and a little line of text, not a wall of text.

3) The footer text does indeed look non-clickable. Underlining the text
would solve this.

4) The header looked fine as it is on my iMac, but now that I've looked at
the website on my Macbook I agree with what you mean Zac. Could move the big
Adiumy downwards, then move the main title to the right side of the Adiumy
and reduce the height of the grey box. Would cut off an easy 1/3 of height.

5) This could easily be coded to not have a fixed-width.

6) Would also be easy to add a secondary navigation below the current one.

7) The Media button was a merge of Screenshots and Videos of Adium. I
couldn't think of a better word though, I guess About could work, similar to
what the wiki page suggests.
