This design is an excellent progression from the previous one.

I think it's a good basis for replacing the existing design.

I appreciate the a clean, sparse design. I think that the Grok  
Navigation sidebar might be improved by moving in this direction.  
e.g. perhaps a 1 px dotted horizontal seperator in a low contrast  
grey, or even just whitespace between each section?

This sounds kind of interesting. I've got Lineform on my Mac, can you  
make those illustrations available in a vector format?

One comment about the use of the term Grok. Whenever this is  
mentioned on the web site, it should be "Grok" and not "GROK" - the  
uppercase version makes me think that it's an acronym. Of course the  
exception is shouting, "ME GROK SMASH ZCML!". The logo could also  
work in all-caps, if we are using a typeface like the one on this  
version of the site, since I don't imagine that typeface has mixed case?
