I like the donation bar, and the website is a huge improvement.

However, I'm still very concerned about how much blank space there is on
our front page, while you have to scroll down to see any kind of real
explanation of what Freenet is.  The bulk of the information is below the
fold.  I really think the layout is all wrong here, and given that it's the
landing page, it is absolutely critical that we get it right.

I'm also not a fan of the scrollbox as the primary means to explain what
Freenet is (it get's price of place in the middle of the page).  I find it
pretty cumbersome.  It might be good off to the side, but not right in the
middle of the first page people see (surrounded by mostly blank space).

Can anyone think of any other well-designed website that has so much empty
space above the fold when the page is first loaded?  I guess you could say
that Google does, but they have far less explaining to do.

I've submitted it for feedback here:
