Geoff, Daily several of us (Michael, Martijn F, Phillip V, and a couple others) utilize #zope-web to try and further work that has been going on for awhile to get a suitable zope.org rolled out and upgraded that the community can be proud of. There are people working on docs, marketing data, newsletters, layout/design upgrades and more. Please participate in the existing drive, not start a new one. :)
I'd love to see ya drop by. There's no secret that the current site needs fixing; lets pool the collective interest and get it finished up.....
