The site is hideous, but I think Deuce likes it that way.

The gigantic waving flag was an "enhancement" following frequent complaints
that people couldn't find the download link. They still have trouble locating
it. I don't even recognize it as a download link until I stop being distracted
by the minty horror of the page and focus on reading.

I don't think we're going to get a lot of newcomers and young people coming
along, but in general it's good for a website to sort of meet expectations /
conventions so that the average visitor will grasp how to navigate it. So, to
that end, maybe I'll throw together an updated version of the site and offer it
to him.

(This is my first DOVE-Net post from my new web UI, so apologies if anything's
wonky with the formatting.)
