As you mentioned yesterday, some of it definitely looks weird because of the accessibility plugin, and we'll have to do something about that. I also think we should disable the auto-scrolling; it's a bit overwhelming to have all of these carousels scrolling by themselves simultaneously; I think we should give the user a greater sense of control. Also, in general, I think it would be nice to improve the uniformity of the item display -- for example by contraining text height and image dimensions. Perhaps these things could expand to show the full text/image on mouseover, or through a \"selected item\" cursor controlled by the arrow keys (keyboard controls on this page might be attractive for certain types of browsing)."}}
