May be you could help here, that will lower your frustration and you'll
have contribute to make us better.

May be you can send them to the IT site, it doesn't have the page yet,
they'll see that we stick to our values and you could tell them that
main site is still a work in progress, and fortunately with some help,

The problem will be fixed much more quicker if you helped instead of
waiting for things to be done by themselves. This is why we are here: to
make things happen :)
