This is a bad measurement. Technically-inclined people are more likely to  
fine-tune their web browsing experience. The best metrics would be of  
d-p-l.org visitors.

However, making the website accessible without JS is so easy, it's not  
really worth arguing about.

Reminder: there are people in this community (myself included) who have  
web programming experience and would gladly help out. Don't be afraid to  
ask.

Speaking of which, the twitter widget needs to be placed in an iframe so  
that it doesn't block the page load (inline scripts cause browsers to stop  
parsing the page until the script is loaded and executed, which creates a  
network dependency on a website we don't control).
