[Actionchix] State of the new website

[Gloria Willadsen]

Thank you for this. I was away for almost a month, and I had no idea 
what was happening on this. I just got back last week, and was too busy 
catching up on work to focus on this.

Re: Design, I think if there are no strong preferences, doing it and 
then tweaking it based on commets is your best bet. People tend to be 
more responsive if they have something tangible to critique.

Unfortunately, I suck at design, otherwise I would offer to help. I 
have, and will continue to offer to help with anything else.
