Updating the web site work just like the source code.  It uses GIT.  You 
have a local copy, you update it and push the changes.  They are 
immediately in effect.

No one has really come forward to do the web pages much past what Jon 
initially put together.  I don't like to touch it extensively because it 
uses some sort of post processing funky thing (that I am sure everyone 
else knows how to use).

If you can be explicit about what you want to change (put this text here 
or erase everything from this word to that word) I can do it when I have 
15 minutes here or there to spare.

But if you want extensive changes...  Well, if you create it and post it 
somewhere I can wget it...  Or if you tar it up and send it to me...  I 
can try to put it up, but I'll make no promises w.r.t. that effort.

But I agree, the whole thing needs a face lift as we change from a 
"developer" into a more "user" oriented community.
