Well done guys. The site looks amazing! I think this is also an appropriate moment to thank the fine folks who maintained the Confluence site all these years, especially Miguel.
Regarding content, I just have a minor comment on the "About" part. I think we should replace "The suite runs on Windows, Linux and OS X and is licensed under GNU GPL v2." by "The suite runs on Windows, Linux and OS X and is licensed under GNU GPL." As we have discussed in the past, KiCad's code base is actually a mix of GPL2+ and GPL3+, effectively behaving as a whole like GPL3+.
