Karl Dubost provided some helpful CSS tips, which I implemented this morning. I hope this fixes the problem. Let me know if not. We expect to have a completely new Website (but still under Movable Type) available within about 2 months. Cheers, Steve Nicholas: Thanks for pointing this out.

Furthermore, a horizontal scroll bar is present that extends the page width by about 20%. there is nothing but whitespace in this extra scrolled region.

A significant part of the Web Foundation team is coming from W3C, and we are considering validity as a critical point. We are doing our best to keep our page valid, and we are checking the home page regularly. But sometimes, some issues are appearing due mostly to the use of a CMS in which a typo in one module can break all the pages. We are for now a small team, and again doing our best, but you might find some pages which are still not valid. We are in the process of installing W3C logvalidator to get a weekly summary. So again, validity is critical, we know that, we support that, but it might always happen that some of our page are not valid, and in htat case, if you notice that before us, please just let us know and we will update it stephane Billy, you are totally right.

I think too that the human spirit of curiosity is a big piece of what is enabled through the web. Empowering people to follow their curiosity leads to solutions that matter for them and their communities. In the web I see us moving from skills/teaching toward shared experiences and discovery. This social aspect - shift in mindset - is a important piece of the web's role in our future. Exciting. Cheers, Michael Craig, love this story – a great reminder of the purpose.
