I completely redid the layout of the list. The list itself is much longer now, but I think it is easier to read and it will definitely let me add a lot more useful information about the projects. I don't particularly feel like creating a poll, but if you want to "vote" about whether to use the new or the old format, feel free to do so.
Edit: I plan to add the work unit times and project status (most that are blank are open) and descriptions soon. I would still like to come up with a good way to easily designate open and closed and pending projects. The best I can come up with so far is some combination of bold, italics, and highlights but that might make the list more "cluttered" and hard to read...
Edit again: After thinking about it a little more, I might put the status line in bold for active projects, and italics for inactive ones. That should make an easy designation (and easy to spot) for anyone just skimming over the list for open projects, and avoids using that really annoying highlight function.
