I skimmed the recent thread about the website, and I think a lot of

I think the design I donated two years ago is about due for a refresh,
so I spent a few hours on a new design. It's a fresh take on the same
ideas, but with more emphasis on getting people excited and up and
running. The idea is to give GNUstep the feeling of a real product.

The current site's biggest obstacle to success is information
overload. I tried to address this a bit on the home page, but I think
GNUStep in general would benefit from some *new*, highly-focused
articles on building your first app.
Yes, I think you're right. The new design does look nice. One thing
that still probably is confusing is the difference between a GNUstep
user (someone who wants to just download and install GNUstep and apps)
and a developer (someone who wants to write GNUstep programs). Maybe
it will be necessary to have separate sites for that.
