I'm registering to tigris.org to submit bug reports

It's just that many may find hard to orient themselves in complex/obscure 
bug tracking systems. One may want to have a look at existing issues to 
make himself an idea on how a bug report looks like

I'm a bit of one myself (free-hand pencil sketching+inking, web design, 
printed and electronic promotional material design, some CGs, even a bit of 
3D modelling), but I *suck* at picking colors. And, above all, I definitely 
don't want to be involved in discussions/flames based on aesthetical taste 
(or lack thereof)

Jason, what about that guy that designed reactos.com? is he still 
available? not that the design is that bad, only it would be better if it 
was a bit more... professional. More sober, sharper edges, and with less colors
