Tim Jones spake thus:
Although the content is good the presentation is dreadful - it's stuck in a
1980s web site, opportunity missed.

I only have one thing to say: The site contains great content and I find it
somewhat accessible. There is no doubt that some interface changes could
increase usability, but it is by no means nearly the worst of offenders in
this regard.

And God save us all from "Web 2.0"!

There are several camps of Internet 'Designers' who seem to think that a
site must have Flash Navigation (could there be a more ridiculous idea?) and
that all sites are to be served over fat pipes (still not true, even today).
At least the TMP doesn't strike me as terribly bloated even if the
navigation/information location isn't as great as it could be.

Anyone that uses Flash as the only route into/through their site should be
lined up against a wall amongst the decomposing bodies of those who used to
make frequent use of the HTML blink and similar crimes against ocular
systems.

Now, Tim didn't say specifically what improvements he'd recommend, and I'm
not rushing to prejudge. In many cases, newer/new-fangled does not
necessarily equate to better - especially for web design.

And besides, I'm just happy the wonderful information exists. I can deal
with the less than 100% optimal presentation... I'm just glad there is a
repository of such neat stuff out there.
