Well, look-n-feel is highly subjective, and there are limits to
how fancy we can get without breaking rendering on a lot of browsers
or using up bandwidth (right now averaging about 8Gbytes, 85k visitors,
and 1M hits each month...)

There would be a little more to it than that - you can download the
current site sources via SVN and play if you like...

I think that is more of a front-end issue than anything else - the
database is already setup to support categories and is linked to the
links/bazaar database.  Would something like the links page work
better?  We could show the different FAQ sections or topics, then
you click to show to questions, and then click to view an answer?
