Cool. Any word on a responsive template for the site?

We're working on it and it's coming. No one will be happier than I am when it's out, though I'm worried that it will be impossible to please everyone, because the specific requests we get are disparate and even contradictory. We'll have a considerable period of testing and feedback though.
If Digg and Slashdot are any guide, it might be wise to just do a slight enhancement to improve mobile proportions and sizing, rather than any re-design.

The typical solution to that is to give the users a setting page where they can pick between the two contradictory options.
The typical solution leads to a combinatorial explosion of complexity, which is no less worrying.
