Firstly, I don't like the grey navigation bar.  I know that it's a 
subjective opinion (aren't they all :o)  ), but it looks drab and 
uninspiring to me.  How about a colour similar to the blue that you 
use for the banner?

Secondly, I just don't think that the monospace fonts work in the 
navbars, or, indeed the headings on the front page.  To me, monospace 
works well in code listings, but it seems 'wrong' for other things 
(again, a very subjective opinion).

You should get rid of the border around the logo in the top-left of 
the page (logo.png)

Finally, I'm reading this on a monitor with a large screen resolution 
(1600x1200).  You should consider restricting the size of your lines 
of text (about 70 or 80% of the page width is good) to make it easier 
to read on these large monitors.

This has been a bit of a negative review, but on the other hand, I 
liked the content -- this sort of site is important and the way that 
things are going, it seems like it will become more so in future.

I'm using Mozilla 0.9.9 on Windows 2000 Pro with a 1600x1200 screen 
res over a LAN connection.

HTH,
Raj.
