I agree with Gabor's statement that we should wait until we are in XML
world. Otherwise, we would probably need to throw away anything that
gets developed in the meantime or at least require much effort to
integrate it into our (then XML-based) build infrastructure. I'm very
happy that we finally managed the doc SVN migration. Now that Gabor is
also working on XML in a separate branch, I think we are making
excellent progress towards a more modern doc infrastructure. Once the
foundation is solid enough, I guess there will be plenty of people who
are be willing to work together on a new FreeBSD.org webpage.

These things take time, but the webpages are not broken at the moment,
just outdated. Hence a replacement should not be our top priority (at
least, it's not mine). However, I would be interested to see some design
studies if someone is interested in doing them to see what can be done.

Cheers
