I saw the new design a few days ago. I quite like it. The texts in the yellow-ish bar should probably be black, but all in all that new design gives a stronger identity to the WaSP

Nope, don't like it one bit. It is quite ugly, and that block at the top of the page is ridiculously huge.

At least the content is still good

I like it, it's an improvement on the boring previous design, and as elastic layouts go, it work s well. There are huge problems with colour contrast though, as Poi mentioned, these should really be addressed, and although you may have missed it there's a nifty skip to content link at the very top of the screen.

I liked it until I saw this link to the front page

I entered a week or 2 ago, probably the day of the redesign, through a blog post, with comments open at the bottom. THAT page was sublime but I never went and checked the rest of the site I was so used to it just being a running list I thought I'd seen it all and promptly left.

All in all it's not shameful, verily much better than the last list, but for wasp it should try a little harder on the contrast problems, tho I really like it personally as a well-sighted fella. As a designer. And who's their audience? Designers. OK, goodly done.

I read through some of the comments on Andy Clarke's website, lots of people mention problems with contrast and Andy himself has mentioned that the design will undergo improvement and address issues such as this.

Good news!

I don't like it....much.
Here is a very short and limited review.
-The top header (text: The Web Standards Project is a grassroots coalition fighting.. etc etc.) is too big en does not look like a header at all but looks more like a big chunk of text) Would probably nicer if this was an header with a sub header like you see in news papers. The header and the first few lines of the first column from the article.
-The 1+2 column make up is out of balance. Either the first column should be wider and more to the center of the page or on of the two smaller columns should be dropped.
I like the color scheme but whitish backround on the 2 column part could be a little more yellowish. Then it will blend in much better.
-I also have some issues with grey text on a whitish background.

The overall impression is ok but i think it needs a finishing touch.
