And yes, the current desing sucks when viewed on WebTV (no support for css). We'd never convince a user of WebTV device that OpenACS is any good 😟
Seriously, it looks like virtually all big sites (e.g. yahoo, shashdot, amazon, cnn) use tables for multi-column layout, not css. It should be possible to replicate our home page design with tables. Does it make sense if I try this, what do you think?
