Uh, I'm already put off by the existing visual design (e.g.,
three different styles for buttons - black used for general
text as well as links in the RH column).

And what are the lists of names after the posts in the RH
column? Authors or commenters? If commenters, surely that's
not scalable?

It took me a few secs to find out what the web site was about
because the "What is Interaction Design" heading looks like
a sub-heading of the conference call block which I skipped.

Hmm, why make public an unfinished web site that's about
design when its visual design shows it (I think) in a poor
light?

I can understand beta - at a push - for web-based services
but I don't think it's appropriate for regular web sites
because your brand is at stake.
