I'm afraid I disagree. Looking at the front page today shows masses of
orange far too close together, and the soon falls apart underneath
there.

In IE7 there are also lots of rendering artifacts (two "go" buttons,
"search" text under the "Go [Search]" buutton, overlapping "more" and
RSS icons for announcements/events), broken images).

I believe there'd also been a hope that talk.maemo.org would launch
with the new site, but everything seems to have gone quiet on that
front. There was some collaboration between Bergie & Reggie on the
artifacts needed to build the vBulletin theme, but I've not seen where
that's gone. What's the status of any negotiations around ITT ->
talk.maemo.org?

Admittedly, most of my comments above refer to the non-finished home,
but as Dave says - there are lots of niggles which just make it feel
unfinished; nor yet at the quality we'd expect.

Cheers,

Andrew
