Re: website facelift

FYI, I personally am not in favor of using a Wiki for the entire web
site. Using it for the documentation/faq section, and theming it to
match, is a good idea, though, and what we currently do. However, as it
stands now, changing a few things in a include file changes the entire
web site, which is a change that's not easy to propogate through a wiki
with the same ease.
