mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you all ready for teh great gala ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have words from mp's free critique services : 1. too big font, too much whitespace => way too few words in right column ; 2. single utility column => too much scrolling to get articles ; 3 no good structuring of history (and i dun care about your categories enough to want them listed) ; 4. bad idea to put whole article in archive listing, because then you have to paginate the months which defeats the whole point
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i'd seriously say if i had anything useful. but sadly...
