I don't know if this was brought up yet or not, but besides all the changes that have been made, I noticed something that might be something to consider down-the-road. (This was also something that could have applied before the redesign, but since you're taking feedback, here is as good a place as any to pitch it)
For people involved in projects or administration, the tags for their involvement are particularly long. If someone directs/co-directs/co-assistant directs/etc. more than two or three projects, that line is going to go past the row end and wrap around (?). Maybe something like a badge system can be implemented: a badge with an image associated with the project or role, rollover text indicating the association, and it is also a link to the project thread/site. It could possibly save a good chunk of real-estate, and would be less text to crowd the eyes. Just a suggestion!
Edit: Also, really liking the redesign. Probably should have mentioned that, heh.
