I'm referring to the magenta titles and the striped margins. I don't
know if you follow the website design trends, but both are very
popular right now (and called by Adam Polselli[1] a year ago). 
Richard knows what I'm talking about and that comment was addressed to
him. ;]

I suspected you got bored with the design. ;-]

Fromthe top:

The text for the tagline is too large at just over 1/3 of the size of
the logotype and competes with it.

I strongly dislike the stripes. The pattern is too large and competes
with the content for interest. I'd prefer no stripes, but I can deal
with the 2.0 stripes.

I think it's odd that the nav links are smaller than the body content.

Too many colors: red, purple, gold, blue, black. I wouldn't normally
count black but...

The download box isn't too large (as Kevin said) but it's terribly
black. It throws off the balance and color of the page. A toned down
box in a primary/secondary page color would be fine.

The BugBounty headline has weird spacing, not sure what's causing that.

I feel the bottom margin for the headlines is too large and the
headlines feel adrift in the page rather than anchored to their body.

Reduce/remove the left indent for the lists on the left column.

I've never been a fan of the gear, but everybody else seems to be happy with it.

Missing a sign up for the mailing lists. ;-]

All that said, the structure on this page is better than the current
preview and will be a better design after a little bit of refining.

I'm interested in seeing what you do with the second level pages, as
you still have the same problem as you would with your original
design. If you need influence, Greg Storey's blog has the coolest
second level page design[2]. Not that it works well with the headers
you have.
