Guys, let me tell you about "look'n'feel", something we always suffered of in eglug website, the look'n'feel of eglug was almost perfect for us as geeks, we all managed to navigate through it and make use of it, however for the normal joe user, eglug interface was a pain, that's why we couldn't attract less other non-geeks, that didn't matter much back then. But now Open Egypt has to be accessible for all, non-geeks more than simple geeks, we are addressing a larger audience, if not all the audience that's there :) So please when we get to this part, let's hear from non-techies, and survey normal users on the site's usability and access to them.
