Hi Goran,
What in particular don't you like about the squeak.org design? Possibly
it is a little minimal, but it was intended to be a "strict, clean,
fastloading site with a 'good look'"...
The main problem I would see in the web presence of Squeak is that most
of our contents (and there is a suprising amount) is on the swiki, not
on squeak.org. Maybe we should merge the two, and only have the swiki
at squeak.org...
Cheers,
Russell
