I replied to this once, and forum.dlang.org is down so I'll paste:


1. The site design/styling is old. Simply changing it is now necessary 
just as a refresher.

2. Of course, we'd also like things to be better. The chaotic navigation 
menu on the left was something I long wished to replace with a more 
modern on.

3. Part of my effort is to replace all manual html ad-hoc styles with 
styles in the css. That is invisible right now but will become very 
useful when we pass the site for improvement to a specialist.
