What I'd really like is for someone who has good taste to redesign the look
of the whole system. I think one or two people are working on packages to
do this, and I'd much rather spend time providing whatever low level support
they need, rather than doing it myself.
Have you looked at adding

Then contribute a new one.
And this would be pretty easy to, since you can program it in R.

Slightly (but not completely) irrelevant comment. The next version of
the R rpm packaged by Fedora WILL include static web pages by default
