It has been my intention to change the site - at least the main page.

Most everyone who is interested in the pages is already subscribed to
debian-www. Previous posts to debian-devel about the pages have generated
almost zero interest. Either people don't care or they are foolish enough
to trust me. :)

I agree that major changes should be discussed before being implemented.
Don't expect a lot of feedback though. Past changes have not generated
more than a handful of responses.

If you feel you have good ideas, please convert a few more pages
to what you'd like to see and get back to us. People like what you have
done so far so keep going. If we like that too, I'd love it if you
became a developer so I could give you access to the web pages.
If you are familiar with m4 or one of it's variations, it would speed up
the process of conversion if one of these were used to generate the actual
pages.
Lastly, I must apologize for not getting back to you sooner about the pages.
Just so you know, I have meetings the next three nights so will not
have a lot of time for Debian before Thursday.
