Bearing in mind that the forum is still quite new (if you sniff, you can still get that 'new forum smell'and we also have the short fiction collection and possibly something involving an RPG, we could certainly start discussing site redesign options in the fairly near future, if we wish. I would recommend getting the forum more settled in first, however. And having a discussion about the other things on our plate and what needs to be done with them and how much time/energy we have available to handle multiple projects at the same time.
I've done some checking with Trond off-list and it looks like simply adding an alphabetical listing is fairly simple, and the only part we can't do easily through the CMS is adding the link of the main EG page -- but Trond can do that one fairly easily. So, that one project can go ahead without draining our resources much if we're agreed it's worthwhile. In the meantime, I'm learning a bit more about how to access that site outside the CMS and may have more to report back later. For now I agree that we should get a couple of the other big rocks out of the way before we tackle a wholesale site redesign.
