I found it rather conspicuous that all three of the items listed under "cutting edge" (multicore parallelism, thread sparks, and transactional memory) fell into concurrency/parallelism category.

Yes, but our freshly compiled binaries have far more nutrients then your factory produced ones! Besides, the world would be a far better place if everyone compiled local rather than having binaries shipped to them from half-way across the globe...

As for designing the Haskell web site: I don't have any experience with making templates for MediaWiki, but I can at least give it a try.
