Huh? How can putting a new website in place possibly move
any slower than it has? I first complained about specific
problems with the website over two years ago! The answer always
seems to be "well, we have a new version that is about to go
in place any day now" I'm also not sure why debate needs to
be perceived as a bad thing - this is an open-source project, and
one would hope that applies to the whole project: DNS, web site,
mailing lists, etc.

That's the problem, isn't it - this is old ground. That's why Bruce
raised the thread in the fiest place - after all these years, we
still seem to be spinning our wheels. Problems with the site tend to
be a) not noticed right away, and b) fixed slowly if at all. People
reporting problems or offering suggestions are often met with
hostility and rudeness. The -www list was a secret and exclusive
club (although it is better now).
