"Open" is in our name.

First (visual) impressions:
"max-width: 35em;"? What's "more attractive" about a noodle?
In my Firefox, the floating shield makes an orphan of the last
item in the "features" list. (Wrap it with a TABLE? That would
also suck the bullets in, a bonus?)
Content:
"production-quality"? You're going to say that aloud, with Java
standing right over there?!
"comparable to Common Lisp"? (Eeek. I hope not!)
What else have you snuck in there? Everything was re-formatted,
making diffs useless.
Source:
So... you propose to hack index.xml to produce something that
looks like this, but using Savannah's server-side includes and
everything?

I'm with you. I even use Ubuntu (argh!!) to that end. But I think
the "app" (the REPL window in Edwin) is where the rubber meets the
road. For this reason (and for visual gratification), I bang the
Chaos out of Gtk integration.

I HAD to make some changes a couple years ago; it looked terrible in
Ubuntu Firefox. I eventually found
http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/mit-scheme/?root=mit-scheme
and learned to hack index.xml and run regenerate.scm.
The code that generates the tables might give you a nosebleed... take
it slow.
