Yes, it is a very nice design, far nicer than your last one :-)
I am concerned though - after a long time looking around and discussing
things on and off, we already all agreed on a design. I'm concerned for
2 main reasons:
1) We accepted a concept from Lukasz - I don't like the idea of throwing
away his hard work in this way.
2) What happens if xyz web design comes and offers us another great
design next week. Do we start again? Where/when do we draw the line? If
I'm honest, based on our agreement to use Lukasz' design I think that
line should be drawn already.

It does not expand with the browser though. That is a requirement of the
new site.

Should be Overview, but I'll put that down to your using an old cvs
snapshot!

Yes, content and the current split of the sites is a known issue, and is
the next phase of the project.
