Looks great!  A few minor nitpick comments on the website content:

1) Why are the guiding principles in blue text?  At first glance, it 
makes it appear as though the items are links..  I know links are 
underlined.. though still seems odd.

We already had them in blue in the original version, this blue shade is 
different form the links. The idea is to highlight these with the same 
tone as the banner bkground


Still think it's confusing as many websites use "blue" to indicate 
unvisited hyperlinks.  Of course, not a big deal since hovering removes 
any doubt.


2) Why are the news events in a table? Does the author field really 
provide any useful info to the user?

These are automatically generated, a new way to keep the site up to 
date. Just click on "add news" (need to be a committer though) and the 
news will get populated on the home page, just 3 at a time. All the news 
will get stored either in events or news archive.


Sounds like a great idea.  Though not sure if the author info is really 
useful to users..  Are you saying the news items are limited to the last 
three that were added? That seems like a strange limitation.  Seems all 
the relevant news should be available unless the volume of data gets too 
large..

Thanks
