I committed a new target ("make new") to the guide Makefile, so that one
can generate the "new" html (it uses the docbook XSL and generates  
XHTML)

Also added the missing copyright information, which unfortunately was
left out of your "Minimalist Guide". It also needs a documentation  
license
added later, so that the guide can be distributed along with the  
software.
Probably some Open Content license, to match the Open Source BSD  
license ?

Will leave the rest of the updates to you guys, and use the Trac  
Tickets.

It just uses the DarwinPorts color scheme still, so it's a bit too  
"cute"...

darwinports.opendarwin.org/
Probably it can be redone along with the main MacPorts website <hint  
hint>.
As in: better to do a proper redesign of the entire MacPorts "brand"  
later ?

Hopefully there are lots of web designers wanting to help the project ?  
:-)
