I just sent the message below to itlt@mit.edu and isworks@mit.edu.  It 
bounced because of that extra "s".  Sorry for any duplications.

Please make the font size for the actual content large enough to read.

I also suggest decreasing the title font size on the top of the page so 
that it does not take up 3/4 of a page in a smaller window like 800x600.

I would also suggest using a font that is more readable.  I personally like 
Verdana, Arial or Helvetica.

Themes has 2 extra blank paragraphs at the bottom of the page that make it 
look like there is more information to scroll down to when there isn't.

I suggest that the entire line of a theme should be the link, rather than 
just the number, or at a minimum that the word "Theme" should be put in 
front of the number and made into the link.  These are typically referred 
to as "Theme One" and it would be a visual clue to help with recognition.
e.g.
Theme One:  Engage customers to realize value from I/T

How many people can actually add New Themes, Strategies, Initiatives, and 
Projects?   If the number is small, then I would suggest having a page 
devoted to administration of the system and not put it on every page at the 
top of the content on a line next to Search.


Thanks,
Jonathan

p.s. I am sending this message to these lists because the form 
<http://web.mit.edu/is/work/formsuggest.html> did not work and the cgi base 
text file lists both lists.
