Dave, We can consider not using a single CSS or template for the entire site. Rather we would partition the website and apply CSS and templates according to their context or navigation depth.
Maybe a single CSS for colours, fonts sizes, tables, etc. eg. lets call this standard.css The secondary pages, like module info and volunteer list, would have a CSS for layout information. eg secondary.css Homepage and Download pages would have a different layout CSS but still inherent the font and colors from the first CSS. eg home.css and download.css We may also consider moving the API to openoffice.apache.org and giving it its own css / program an exemption for those. It looks like a lot of links are broken right now as well. That would be on the list as well for fixing.
