The page look is somewhat nice, but I can't really evaluate the > navigation because it's so broken. My purpose was to submit a proposed 'layout' and 'navigation' and not a fully function website (due to time constraints). I think you can get the picture of how the site will navigate without having all the content. I mentioned this to Stas when I submitted it. But, let's not forget that people where given a chance to submit their designs and ideas and also to vote. I did not have too much time to complete entry (hence the broken links and missing content), but because I wanted some change, I submitted a design and voted. I was very surprised to see only three entries and even more when Stas announced the low turn-out. But, this does not justify the elimination of the 'election', altogether. We should go with the winning design and go from there. We can always tweak the winning design abit aftwards (??). My only suggestion is that the navigation of the site be somewhere on the top instead of 'squishing' the menu and the content together. You have more real estate for content when the navigation is on top. Which is the main purpose for sites like these. $0.02 -Carlos
