I had been mentally steeling myself -- through yoga, meditation, watching
old episodes of Kung Fu -- to present this site to Evolt under the classic
subject "Site Review". Beleive me, one does not present a Web devlopment
site to this crowd without some trepidation.

I have been working with Developer Relations at Apple
to build content for the site that addresses known
cross-platform/cross-browser issues. The site also supports principles
long-practiced by many on this list: thorough testing, adherence to
standards (when possible), and degradablilty. This is just the start, and I
know that Apple hopes this site will be helpful for the community.

As for my role: I managed the content for the site. So, as it concerns this
list, I'm most interested in the your opinions about the articles. But if
you notice any design/layout/markup issues, I will make sure they get
addressed.
