Actually I was thinking in bigger terms ie: put a new face on the entire 
website. The person you're originally responding to started out his 
thread by talking about rebuilding the site. I think that most 
'ordinary' people have this idea in their head that if a site is good 
it's because it always changes.

Assuming that you are open to the idea it means also that there's a lot 
of work involved. Why not let other people do it and let them get credit 
for it? This is what the co-op program is meant to do anyways.
