Today the Hobbyist, Tommorow, The World!

I would have gladly provided a new layout(the generic tabs on the top,
couple of gradients thing).
The problem is that wiki4d generates (I assume it hasn't changed since I
last looked) code for a website from the 1980s or 1990s. It's not using
divs, spans, etc.

I know nothing of the underlying technology behind wiki4d.

However, I agree with this:

"What we need is a dprogramming.com marketing site, with examples,
tutorials, a beginniner package, and flashy stuff.
~John Demme"

Maybe we don't need flashy stuff, but we need to exude an air of
professionalism. Of course, I don't think this really matters until we
are approaching D0.8 or so.
