I have just made several interface changes. In the process of
determining the interface however, I tried over twenty different
themes until we found what suited us best. If you found the page with
a weird green or purple theme, that's why. I tried doing this as
quickly as possible, but if you came during that time period, that
explains the ugly interface you saw. We may be doing further interface
changes throughout today and tomorrow, so DONT freak.
Now the sidebar is a lighter blue, with a darker blue outline, rather
that a purple outline. The sidebar to the left now has the word Wiki
instead of pages, and is above the discussion section.
A new page was created:WOT Screenshots, which will soon be added to
the Wiki (See the Wiki section) along with other page edits, new
discussions, and new files.
We have also made several other changes. You no longer have to have
been a user of WOT for a minimum of three months to join. The greeting
and group description have been crystalized to fit its meaning.
Also, another change: Before, anyone could post, even non members.
This is still the case, however, posts by non members are now held for
moderation before being posted.
The final, and what I feel is the most important change, is adding a
notice that when making a post, the email assosciated with your Google
Account is shown publicly to anyone recieving email notifications of
new discussions, and can be accessed through the members section of
this group This is now noted in the footer of email notifications, in
the welcome message of this group, and shown when you are ready to
request to join the group.
All members will also be notified privately of this.
It is recommended you use a secondary email address to assosciate with
your google account, as to not get spam to your primary address.

I thought Google had some message thing similar to WOT's, that allows
users to communicate in ways besides email. We might not be notifying
everyone privately....
