Feel free to contribute to Worg with relevant screenshots that we can select as "featured on the index page." Also add title and caption for these screenshots. > - I don't like this particular type writer font. On a Mac it's very thin > compared to the serifless font that makes up the normal text.

I somehow agree that it was good to have everything in one page, but I don't think that page was *that* readable. In any case, you can always pull the website (it's just a git repository) and you have everything in "one directory". If you have any patch that would make the website better to your eyes, please send it! Thanks, -- Bastien
