1) The present website usability is criminally bad.
   

I was referring to the present website not the SC40 one

Could people on this list do a brief summary on what they think is wrong
with the current design (https://www.sc40.sfo.collab.net/) when it comes
to usability?
 

It's necessary to scroll to see the whole page.
Focus on the Download has been lessened
I got lost in the mailing list archives and can't find the posts that
would answer this question.
What exactly is wrong with it? Is it something that can be fixed?
 

Yep, fix it by distributing the "component icons and links" in a single 
line across the centre of the page
Put the Download button centered beneath the text but above the 
component icons and make it one third the width of the page.
The "Software Patents" para belongs in the News.
A little redistribution of the non critical elements in the bottom of 
the page would be good.  My screen is a at 1280x1024 and I still get a 
scrollbar


Has any of these problems been fixed in Maarten's recent proposal
(http://www2.hku.nl/~maarten/external/OpenOffice.org/proposal3.0/)?
 

Nope  I actually don't like this one, visually it's unbalanced and looks 
untidy
