I was cleaning up a mess some spammers made of a friend's server, and  
my time's just opened up again now.  So your timing is impeccable! ;)

I'll experiment with some reds/pinks later this week and see if  
anything works.  One complaint about the gray is that the whole page  
is very cool then and it could use some warmth, but even those who  
commented on that didn't think that the beige was necessarily the  
right *source* of warmth as a solution.  One of the web designers who  
took a peek did suggest using the gray but with the pink/reds of the  
logo as link colours there, so I'll try that.

Do we have a higher res version of the logo anywhere?  One of the  
graphic designers who looked over the site pointed out that it's  
looking a little jpeg-artifact abused, beyond the intentional  
fuzzing.  I can probably bribe a graphic designer with cookies to try  
to get it cleaned up or remade, but it'd be exceptionally lovely if  
we had one hanging around already.

Also, the menu's going to need to have an extra donate link now. :)

I'm not picky -- I could probably write the menu-generating script in  
straight python if need be.  In fact, it's simple enough that that  
might not be a bad idea, now that I think about it.
