Yeah, it would be nice if the poor sods who get to maintain it get
some chance to comment... ;-) Where was the past discussion?  Some of
the menu ordering decisions look a bit odd ("Donations" under
"Support"?), so I'd be interested to see the reasons.

Looks good as a graphic and it looks like it should convert to
xhtml/css fairly well.  Question: "Recent Commits" only shows one
commit, so isn't it mistitled?  Also, will most front page users know
what a "commit" is anyway?  Are we keeping one front page for all, or
having a front news page, a user-home and a devel-home?

I'm a little puzzled why "Get Started" is repeated and I wonder
where/how the body text is coming from, but I expect those have been
discussed already too.

No, I don't think so - they speak pretty good English.  S'il y a
besoin, je traduiserai.  IIRC, the current site supports PHP, but
anything else (databases or whatever) will need a request.

Hope that helps,
