I have no problem with the idea of an open web design strategy, except someone needs to be in charge of making sure it conforms to what Walter wants it to look like; and make sure nothing bad goes on his site. The "community" is a rather diverse and flexible bunch and it is his site after all.

I'm in the process of making the site look just a little better stylistically.  Walter is a very good devil's advocate, so making changes is quite a bit harder than just changing them and him going "yeah, if you say so".

Now, I'm in the process of committing a bunch of changes to the stylesheet.  If someone has anything else to add to the site, please let myself and/or Walter know.

If you go through me, I'll mediate with Walter's expectations.  : )
