I actually started to rewrite the HIG earlier in the year that Dan seemed to like but unfortunately I never heard back from Cassidy about it so I didn't get much farther (didn't want to do a whole bunch of work only to find out it sucked from the beginning). I was more focused on just cleaning it up first, but I was thinking after we get it more professional looking it might be a good idea to think of alternative ways of organizing the concepts so the HIG doesn't seem so GNOMEy.
