The new ELIXIR website design is now on a development server. There's a form at the bottom of every page for people to give feedback, so please feel free to use it! The site is a working draft that people can follow, and it will probably change as a result of feedback.
Please note that (1) the home page will be redesigned in the next couple of weeks and (2) the intranet pages have been redesigned but you can't log in to the intranet on the development server yet.
