I have to say that I dislike the look of that site and I consider its 
home page a good example of how a home page should not be designed. At 
1024x768 there are three screenfuls of information and only the third 
one contains information that may be of any interest after the first 
time you visited the site, and that's assuming you know next to nothing 
about Python the first time.

Together with the ACCU one and Boost's own, I'm sorry to say, that's 
another site that was recently redesigned and where the result doesn't 
strike me as a clear improvement over the previous one.
