For what it's worth, it's been redesigned several times, but to date none seemed to be enough of an improvement in order to actually do the work. (New pages have a simplified design without the frame so it doesn't waste so much screen real-estate. That didn't get a go-ahead, either.) Yet another refresh is in progress, supposedly will be ready for launch "soon". No idea when "soon" really will be. Randy Brukardt, "soon" to be former AdaIC webmaster.
