I'd like to suggest to have a look at the NetBSD website as an inspiration which meets the requirements of your four people quite well. It has a very clean and modern looking design and provides quick access to the most important information for both, novice and advanced users (see the additional 'visually hidden' navigation bar at the top). Also there's a 'Disclaimer' link at the bottom of every page which provides information about copyrights and licenses regarding every aspect of the project (to make Dora happy). What this site makes such a good example (in my opinion) is that it features content very similar to FLTK's site and in fact most of the links on the home page even would be the same. <http://www.netbsd.org> By the way, NetBSD is somewhat like the FLTK of open source operating systems. Light, fast and portable (show me another full featured, modern UNIX-like system that still runs smoothly on an i386 with 4M of RAM) and I think their website reflects that, as should FLTK's.
