Occurred to me while searching google for something ORU related that we will be losing something quite significant by changing the web site design too radically. The ORU site has been around long enough to have seeped into a lot of indexes not just at the homepage level of indexing but in secondary and deeper pages. Might be worthwhile not to change the "background" pages too much even if we shine up and tidy the more superficial (as in, here for a quick look around) entrances. If you search google for "Sexual behavior of female primates" for example, you get an ORU page about 3 down and a search on the three words duel honor law unquoted nets the ORU article on sword law right at the top. Might be something worth considering for the denser stuff, in particular.

Links in are good! We should be able to improve the navigation within the site and give the pages a consistent look in the areas we want them to have a consistent look without affecting the underlying directory structure, and I'm all in favour of minimum motion: we might actually get it done sometime this side of 2020 - A.
