Collaborative Site check - please

I would like help with a new drupal site from those here that are CoD subscribers that know their way around the Drupal program, perhaps some you have time and can advise as well.

Even if you don’t use Drupal, I would appreciate your comments regarding both the design from a technical and a content analysis. I have it installed at www.clnews.org/drupal/ Please take a look.

My goal is to build an online community of labor activists, using the theme or notion of "stories". I'm totally blown away by the concept of taxonomy. Yet, necessarily the site must be designed with a minimum of classes or categories as starting points to hang any submitted stories on. Can anyone discuss this with me?

So the problem I am asking for help is a discussion on both a technical design evaluation and an overall site narrative design evaluation. Anybody interested?

With Respect and Cheers,
Tony Budak
