Wow. That's so nice. Much easier to find stuff. I offer a +1 no matter what.
Two pieces of feedback. * The font look a little strange to me. Are you wedded to it? It's a little vertically stretched. Maybe use the same font as the main Apache site? * Should we explain what Velocity is on the main page? Right now the main page is process oriented. Project of the foundation, open source, etc. It doesn't explain what we are about. Suggestion -- move the section "What is Velocity" from the Engine section to the top of the home page. Then in the Engine section we could have a 2 sentence intro paragraph explaining how to get started. (link to the docs). What do you think?
