Brad Choate is redesigning his website, and he’s blogging his progress. He has a long list of ideas/task indicating a good deal of care for usability/technical details and is checking them off as he goes.
In a voyeuristic kind of way, it is interesting to watch how somebody else deals with a redesign process, and with minor tweaking his list can be used as a general (albeit not complete) checklist for most (re)design tasks out there.
