looks nice!

just a few observations after a cursory scan:
- i think it's unwise to use a fixed-width font for the main text. i get
   the "joke", but it looks so alien in a browser.
- i'm not sure i like the super-subtle links. with just slightly worse
   lighting/gamma, i wouldn't see them at all.
- the last paragraph of the intro text is historical trivia. it should
   be somewhere else, if anywhere at all. maybe generalize "maintainers"
   to "credits"?
- the intro should probably mention "twin-panel manager (like norton
   commander)". and a screenshot seems appropriate.
- the tab deck for the man pages seems a bit silly. it would however
   make sense to link to html-rendered pages which are uploaded at
   release time.
- don't use contractions in user-facing text.
- the maintainer page lists slava redundantly. while this might be
   intentional, it doesn't seem useful.
