Discuss this story
The design is largely settled. Two suggestions remain outstanding, which I am not sure of. Quiddity has suggested that the color of the sidebar be a grey (as in this revision) instead of the current color. He also suggests that the first two parts (the admins and the TFA sections) each be given a heading. I am disinclined to do either, as I prefer it the way it is, but if his opinion is widely shared I would likely make the change. So if you have thoughts—please share! Otherwise, thanks again to everyone who has made comments through this process. ÷seresin 19:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
