	Great that you have some feedback on the current structure with a  
view of your own and that you want feedback on your ideas in turn!  
Even though trunk/www has indeed received some criticism so far, a  
fresh approach is always something useful and welcomed (or at least  
as long as we don't have a fast approaching deadline ;-).

	In the case of a website, I think something we can look at in  
rendered form is way better than a patch, so I'd say you should post  
it up as a demo on your website to compare it side by side to what's  
in trunk/www (hosted at my http://apollo.homeunix.net/macports/ URL).  
If we agree on grabbing this and that bit of your design, you can  
always jump in and commit yourself.
