Again, I agree.  Patch welcome!

Mh.. your screen seems quite small.  If you can fix the .css to display
the website better on your screen, please do, I don't have time at hand
now to do it myself.

Well, the manual is two clicks away: 

1) "Documentation" 
2) "The online manual" 

I find it good to gather every available documentation in one single
page, that people will later be exposed to when looking for "orgmode
documentation".  That's also the benefit of having one page.

And one Google Search away:

http://www.google.fr/search?&ie=UTF-8&q=orgmode+manual
-> http://orgmode.org/org.html

Thanks!
