I am half way through fixing the interfaces section and Josh, Robert
Bernier and I are working on case studies. Omar is working on advocacy and
techdocs integration.

I think the point, however, is this: to make this content more easily
accessible and to promote it better, he has introduced some new navigation
boxes and new styles within the content itself. It makes no sense to port
these to the existing design if that design will not be used.
