I disagree.  What *should* happen is an old adage: form follows 
function.  What is *mostly* wrong with the GNUstep site is that the 
content isn't goal-oriented.  Since it has no function, it doesn't much 
matter what form it takes.

A good graphic designer could pretty things up, but it'd still be 
lipstick on a pig.  The current powers-that-be need to figure out what 
their actual message is (other than "do we really want to attract 
them?"), and then let the structure/look of the web site follow from 
that.
