Ok, let me throw in some comparable projects' websites:

http://www.r-project.org/
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/
http://www.scipy.org/

or some other non-scientifc large perl project such as

http://www.catalystframework.org/

None of those are particularly great styles, but they all look professional and 
reflect what the user is expecting. I think if you compare them to the current 
design, you'll find that 

- there are no animated elements on any of the sites. It's distracting, and 
rarely useful
- there's little "cutsy" stuff like owls or smileys
- there is a certain consistency in the layout. The current page has too many 
pictures in too many different places

Cheers,
Ben
