From a casual glance:

- Not all links have a title attribute

- Large lists of links do not have a skip link.

- Searchform is a javascript submit, with no fallback or warning (doesnt work without javascript support)

- Mailto: adresses have subject preset.

- Links are not underlined.

- Popular topics links are black instead of blue, and the hovercolor doesn't register for the colorblind.

- Larger images often lack an alt-attribute.

- Inline CSS hampers custom user stylesheets.

- Submenu is somewhat confusing, visually disjointed from the main menu.

- The contact form is a table without a table summary, and doesn't work without javascript enabled, without a warning.

- Missing a breadcrumb

- Low contrast for blue links on white background.

- Trouble finding the contact form. Submenu is initially hidden and you have to select "Contact information" from a list of links inside the "People" page.

- After submitting form: <h1>&nbsp;</h1><h1><strong>Message Sent</strong></h1><p>&nbsp;</p>

- Font-stack of Helvetica renders ugly on Windows machines

- Form labels are not bold, above the form input, or of reasonable font-size.

- Content pages don't start with the content, but with a huge sidebar of links, not conform reading pattern.

- Both HTML and CSS are not valid.

- http://www.nngroup.com/articles/ is somewhat paralizing with information/link overload.

I do like the design a lot, it being vanilla Foundation.
