User interface & navigation changes went on hold due to need for attention to civic issues -- especially for the Connector.
Still waiting for surplus personal time to continue...

4/16/2010

User interface work beginning to surface... 6/19/2011 update:  User interface updating was mostly postponed for more than a year, the possibility to resume the makeover is now becoming somewhat feasible again. Behind the scenes, an initial framework for a new style of user interface structure is another step closer to completion. Not directly visible on the web is a key internal detail, a rule-based macro facility to generate web pages instead of needing to edit all details. One visible part just beginning to surface is a scheme for cascading subsection and page selection. The icon indicating a group of available detail selections is now active.  At this time it only brings up a "web work in progress" popup: Soon it will bring up a stylistically consistent navigation submenu to cascade into lower level subsections. Some of the graphic details are still in a somewhat "rough draft" state. Graphics and layout will undergo further tuning, generally without a note in the Recent Updates page.

Minor revisions occur more frequently without being noted here.
In some cases larger sections spend substantial time in preparation
before being released on the web.
