IDSA's new web site

Has anyone read the article in the last copy of Innovation on the IxDA (interaction designers association)?

The author claimed that the organisation and website have developed around a bottom-up approach and a lot of direct feedback with members.

Their website is also quite box heavy. It looks more contemporary to me though (at least more techie). The organisation of the website is VERY clear. The only part that doesn’t work for me is the discussion area. It seems more like a blog, but maybe that’s because I"m not a member.

Does anyone (cg?) have experience with this organisation? I’d love to hear a comparison from someone first hand.
