Transparency and regular updates on bug resolution and around progress on the “softer” side will really help.

I think a lot of people are missing the point that it’s using WordPress as a lightweight, extensible CMS, as opposed to ‘turning the site into a blog’. Objective one was to get the site on to a more modern, more agile, non-locked-in platform. Objective met.

Neil’s welcome to criticise the visuals; and some have picked up on validation issues. But the very fact that we’re on an open platform like WordPress now means it’s easy for people to come in with specific skills – technical, creative, whatever – and make it better.
