I mean lets get something done... Fair enough, I can work on something.
I was hoping that there would be more than a few guys willing to pitch
in. I'm just a loud voice out of many that see that there needs to be
some reconfiguration/scrubbing to be done.

You wouldn't want a forum? I would say there are many advantages to that.
All the misc. items that are not a HOWTO/mini-HOWTO care in need of a place to live.
People's collaborative efforts can be posted there.

That would be better left to one of my more talented co-posters here in the discussion.

As for the visual, i am willing to put in my two cents, I have some
experience with that. But is there anyone who is a web designer in our
discussion or someone who knows of a guy who'd be willing to do
something pro-bono?
