Polish

Beta
- The timeouts and design issues we're having mean that we won't be ready to leave beta by the 9th, so we'll re-evaluate on the 16th and consider extending again to the 23rd.
- User interviews are going well. People approve, in general. Chris Gregan stated that multi-sort would be nice to have in future.
Action items for the next check-point
- Orange: land the improved spinner.
- Orange: test the load that pre-fetching puts on the data centre.
- Orange: investigate and fix timeouts.
- Diogo and Dan: check how important it is to be able to specify sort ordering via the URL.
- Huw: investigate if using media queries and responsive design techniques could solve the wide-screen versus narrow screen issue.
- Huw: make the text in the status and importance icons easier to read.
- Huw: address the weighting and arbitary colour problems with the status and importance icons: users tell us status is more important but right now importance is easier to spot.
