Yes, Narayan's been doing a lot of work with me over the past few
days, and looks set to become one of the key site maintainers. He has
a very good eye for detail, and it's really great to work with him.

I'm not sure I really understand what you mean, Christoph. I think we
can clarify things at the confcall, where explanations will be much
easier...

Why does it seem strange? it seems like a good lead-in to me... :-(

It's true that we're still at work. I wouldn't like to do any major
restructuring at this time. a) It's been carefully thought out, and b)
there's still a lot of work to do on other things that should get
finished ASAP.

Moving things like the Why? pages would be difficult, and - IMHO -
they're good right where they are... :-(

But do feel free to make comments, and they'll be looked at objectively.
