Did anyone see it before the "heavy traffic" hit? Can you form user accounts or post information yet?

On a side-note, this thing seems cool but over-designed. /. is the best on-line community out there, and it seems to have a sort of Unix-style, "keep the design simple & let the users impose structure where needed" approach. There must be a (10^6)^6 ways to organize "GIA" data. They should have thrown up a simplistic web-site devoted to amassing information about the government and focused on building a fan base, then worried about the details of organizing the information.

But it's cool, and if they can get enough users & keep the feature set simple, it'll be great.
