I should've read your email before I sent my previous message...

I'd like to help, though I realize it's quite late in the game for me to
get up to speed on the environment you're using. One major area I see is
the editing environments page (which, as far as I can see, doesn't
currently exist). If it would be useful, I'd be willing to put together
a page containing links to all of the various programs, categorized by
type (text editor vs. point-and-click), OS, etc.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the different menu bar. I would like
it more if it were green instead of brown (though I'm a Ubuntu user, so
I'm sick of brown by now<g>), but the gradients also make it look less
clean to me. I really like to solid green of the default style. Perhaps
something else could be done to make the current selection more evident
(perhaps a darker green background with white text?).

Thanks for all your hard work on the new site. It really does look quite
stunning, and is clear and easy to use as well.
