I would add the following needed fixes:
     + Introduction : it's dry, and non inviting
     + License : too short, we should probably include the text directly
     + Download/Source: it seems ... incomplete. IMO we should collapse
	the two Download page into a single page. But where do we stick
	the menu item? In About? In Support? I suggest About.
     + Documentation: let's get that into PHP, so it behaves like
	the rest of the site... It's so annoying the way it jumps
	to a different layout, without menu, etc.
     + Forums: we should get rid of the "Other Mailing Lists" section,
	the lists are dead, they are confusing. We have already enough
	forums, more lists don't help. Instead, we should mention the
	newsgroups, and the IRC channels.
     + CVS: move the "Generating and Submitting Patches" to the
	"Sending Patches" page.

Long Term:
     + BugZilla: integrate inot the site, same theme, etc.
     + AppDB: ditto
BTW, have you thought about it? What would it take?

The FAQ is uptodate, the rest are not. However, I also need some
CSS tags, where to they go?

I'd really like if we can fix the Documentation page before we do the
switch. Is there anything special about it?

Also, I am serious about the "Latest News" box. We need an agreement --
what about a patch implementing the idea, so people can have a more
informed opinion?
