Cool.

I don't have any preferences as to style, colors or logos. Choose them 
as you think that it fits best.

I'd say, since you were to first to speak up here, you'll be the 
"website team leader" for now (in case there more people willing to help 
in this area). Talk to Auke about server-side resources.

Reading the mail from David Feldman, it would be cool if the website 
could provide a forum for usability discussion, were people can upload 
their images, texts, whatever, and discuss stuff. I dunno if it would be 
ok to use a wiki here, or a forum, or if we're better off developing 
something of our own; as you like. :-)
