I agree with that, except i would like to see a 'stylized' (?) eye
logo not as complex as the current one, something simple that can be
rendered in 2 colors and still look cool (ala ATT, IBM, old-SGI or

I disagree with that, i am personaly tired of text only pages like
that of a lot of open source software. graphics and 'effects' on the
new site are not overdone and add a nice friendliness to it...

I say change the colors, make the section bar/titles more contrasted
agains the text (so its easier to fast scroll through everything) and
simplify the eye logo.
