Well, I don't know a lot of website distros, but my favourite are :

http://www.archlinux.org/

and...

http://lunar-linux.org/
(don't send me too much things on my head, please ;-p )

In fact, I don't especially like their look, but what I find great is that
they give a lot of useful informations on the main page :
- news (no just a link like our current website)
- recent updates (about packages/spells for us)
- obviously a menu to wiki, bugzilla, forums
- search engine
- polls
- current ISO version

Personnally I don't think our current website is really bad, but it just
looks
like "inactive".
I believe strongly that recent updated spells, as well as new spells are an
important thing to show, and it should give easily some activity to our
website.

I think it won't be too bad to keep our general graphical design, red black
and white, instead of adding blue like on www.sourcemage.net

I also think it would be good to insist about our IRC activity, since we do
not use forums a lot ;-)

Here is my opinion :-)
