The dev team is cranking hard to finish the next major revision of this site in time for the fall elections. At some point, we'll have an open beta so people can hunt down bugs and help us refine the new site. Our open beta worked wonders when we launched this version of the site. But ahead of that, I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak at the new site.
The comps are below the fold. There WILL be changes between now and when it goes live, and likely more changes based on beta-tester feedback, so this is not a final product. Just keep that in mind.
Also: look at the reduced number of ads. We're really going to try and make that work, but if we take too much of a financial hit, that could quickly change. I'm REALLY hoping we can make it work.
Enjoy!
