It looks a bit like a generic domain squatters landing page. No soul. Before it showed clearly that passionate programmers where at work. Now it looks like a "design job". A bit too much for my taste.

Not sure if I would go so far as to say it looks like a domain squatter page.

Of course the first thing I did was validate it. Couldn't help myself... It passed.

The HTML did, but not the CSS :-P http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%...

From the looks of the star html and _border declarations, validation is failing due to the IE-specific hacks :-P

why are the left and top menus (standards, participate, ...) the same? that seems very odd for an otherwise fairly professional-looking page.

edit: and why have the "pointer" point to yet another instance of the word "standards" rather than the one in the top menu? i know it's way better than it was, but it seems odd to be so much better and yet still have odd things like that...

Dig deeper.

But you are right, the underlying system is hard to figure out.
