Hi Ilya, Amos,
For what it's worth - The current site is consistent, both in it's content 
and in it's execution, with the intent of the original registrant of the 
domain. Much of the content that we have had on the site over the years 
has migrated to other sites that can do a better job - the sites that are 
linked to on linux.org.il and this is a "*good thing*. Slick graphic 
excution does not have any added value for this site. Getting iglu.org.il 
back online does.
Shanah Tovah,
