The particular shade of green on wwwredesign is hideous and reminiscent
of bile, nausea or mucus. The green found in the upper-left corner of
www.gentoo.org looks much better and would be greatly preferable. It
also is brighter and would contrast better with the dark purple
background, to increase accessibility.

You've given good reasoning for including the summary at the beginning,
but not the authors. Or perhaps it's impossible to split them, given how
the XML works?

Thanks,
