The only thing I really have to say about AO3's latest contretemps is: I told you so~

When a platform is so fucked up that the only way to make it run is to take out the navigation, then it's time to think real hard about who's been driving development.

I cannot recall specific details but, yes, mark has indicated several times he'd be happy to consult, particularly since OTWarchive is the only other relatively known majority-female open source project out there and, well, solidarity.

To date, he's been brushed off as far as I am aware, and since he's not personally invested in the platform sufficient to fight to be able to assist them, it hasn't gone anywhere. Perhaps the word in the right ears, though! I hope something comes of it. :)
