yes you are right of course, that's no question.

For me the question is "Need we this at all and in what way?"
Thomas (Lange) and myself have spoken and discussed a lot about the
structure of www.d.o and the first realization we came to was that the
website has a really complicated and bloated structure that is hindering
us in every small corner to make a visible progress in modernize and
update the content. And if "we" (means the rather long time members) do
it all on our own we also wont ever find new contributors for that
because it's to complicated and to expensive to dig in.
The solution for every big problem is to split of the big problem into
smaller problems. Cutting out the currently implemented wnpp part would
be one of the rather smaller problems on the road.
We can and should discuss how we can do this.
