<div dir="ltr">This site looks super awesome. First, some particularly good things I like:<div><ul style><li style>The ".m" favicon. It's classy.</li><li style>The overall style.</li><li style>As I said previously, the new logo.</li>
</ul><div>I realise this is a work in progress, and also that a lot of content was copied from the old site, but here are a few little nits I've found:<div><ul style><li style>On the Contact page, the email address is mercury@cs.mu.oz.zu. Should be .au. Also, hasn't the .<a href="http://mu.oz.au">mu.oz.au</a> domain been deprecated for over a decade?</li>
<li style>On the About page, the quotation is in orange. This clashes horribly with the white, black, blue and grey theme. The other quotations are in blue. Oh, I found a purple one on About -> Overview. I think they should all be consistently blue.</li>
<li style>I dislike that the block quotes have an open quotation mark but not a closing quotation mark.</li><li style>I'm not sure if you can describe something as a "new" programming language if it is celebrating its 18th birthday this year.

<li style>The bottom of each page says "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet".</li><li style>There is nothing on the Development page.</li></ul></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>It probably would be; the existing websites use of PHP was always<br>
a little bit eccentric.<br>
<br>
One minor thing: "Bug Tracker" is listed on the menu on the side<br>
but then "bug database" is also listed under "Development". I don't<br>
think the latter one is necessary.<br>
