Yes, a colleague of mine (Henrik Rathje, hrat) is doing some work
on the webpage. I set up tasks for this at
   http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php? 
group_project_id=54035&group_id=189279&func=browse

This is an important one and requires major work.

Looks almost finished.

Easy to fix.

Almost done, Blastwave package can be released if 3.5.0 is ready.
Orca is almost ready, only SMF-manifests for orca graphs are missing.

Done for the manual, converted to html and online at
   http://www.setoolkit.org/cms/node/3
Not much left to fix. The webpage still doesn't look as good
as it could be.

Ok. We should leave them unassigned. If no one feels like
fixing it we can still change status to "won't fix"

If the prototype is ready the "two Jons" have offered to stress
test the RICHPse- and Blastwave-style packages with all use
cases they have.
