The move to blue was a good one, but the move from 2 columns to 3 was not:

Taking a look at the post-1.0 Rails site, you can see that it's about
as un-crowded as it gets, and yet it's pretty effective. I do think
that having a dynamic page that shows what's going on in the project
at a glance is a good thing, and I also think that screen real estate
can be used a little better to highlight special things (like the
current turbogears.org's sidebar, which is not always used to
full-effect).

Can you be more specific when you say "Richard's latest layout"?

layout 3 has a gray band at the right that is screaming out for
*something* to happen there. I like the bottom half of layout 3, but
prefer the top half of layout 2.
