I agree.

You're right on the whole line :)
If I look at NetBSD.org for example, their homepage is easier to use.
Well it's just my point of view but I have more problems to find
something on our Web site than on the NetBSD one.

About the look of our Web site, yes it is "a bit" outdated :)

However a big clean is a lot of work, if someone with a "real" solution
could handle that update it'd be great.
