ahaaa ...

btw: i updated the documentation website a few weeks ago. that was  
overdue for quite some months - my apologies! i planned to update the  
main site as well, was just waiting for a time slot and for reactions  
on the docs-site.

i heard - a little accidently - from paul on the semantic web  
conference 2 months ago that he had asked his brother to work on a new  
design. now i hear in a side note that it will be implemented soon.  
without even introducing it for discussion on the list. fine. the logo  
he made is good and i'm sure the site design will be good as well.

i know it's hard to argue about designs, i know it's sometimes hard to  
argue with me about my designs. i know that it has flaws. and i know  
that it's very well possible that everybody else has already mentioned  
to everybody else that they don't really like the site but just don't  
want to piss me off because i did it when nobody else had the time to  
do so. but that the site needs a better design. and that no one thinks  
that i can do it good enough. all that is okay. i would just have  
loved to be told so a little more openly.

still a great software, great work of everybody contributing to it.  
i'm very thankful for all that, really! and i certainly don't envy you  
for the challenge to manage a community process, paul ;-)

ciao
thomas


ps: and i'm sending this reply to dev because it's a little more  
private ... or at least because i haven't slept over it.
