Of course, the changes led to improvements, but I think it is still too
complex for average users. So here is the proposal to get some more
inspiration - I worked it out some time ago (technical guidance by
Christian, inspired by Nik, pushed by a discussion on the German mailing

All thoughts - requirements, texts, website structure - are here:

@ Ivan: I don't know if that fits to the "HOW: decide on a new
design ...". I invested almost two weeks refining the details and got
very good feedback by different people. We "just" need somebody to
implement it ;-)

Cheers,
Christoph
