Edward Tufte
I am not sure how I found myself there but It turns out that Edward Tufte's website actually uses ACS (it looks like acs 3.x).
One thing I found was a nice essay on Gantt charts in his Ask E.T. forum. He has some suggestions for improvement but I found the indictment of current practices the most interesting:
The design of project charts appears to have regressed to Microsoft mediocrity; that is, nothing excellent and nothing completely useless. (Is the reduction of variance around a modest average the consequence of monopoly?) Most of the charts in Google look the same or make the same mistakes: analytically thin, bureaucratic grid prison, not annotated, little quantitative data. The computer Gantt charts, so lightweight and tinker toy, do not appear to have been designed for serious project management.
One thing I noticed though was that he used the same background as me (which I thought was nice), although I think he makes a mistake in using #f00 for visited links and #c00 for unvisited links which is the reverse of the usual suggestion to use a less saturated color for visited links.
