Please, please, please:
IF you make a page with a white background
THEN make the text black or any other dark color
ELSE don't make the background white
This world is full of web pages with incomplete color definition
(usually just ), which are completely unreadable

Unfortunately I only get help-hurd, but I still would like
to mention some issues:

I guess a lot of new volunteers will arrive as soon a
