I don't think there are any feet in that water to tread on, so stomp
away!  The limit of my thoughts on structure so far are in the order
of the menu items on the newindex template.

I'm still wrestling with myself over whether to specify a width, in spite
of my instincts, or to say "sod Mac/IE, not being able to see gnustep.org
is the least of its problems and it can't be fixed simultaneously with
all other browsers".

I'd like people to be able to use the gnustep.org site to promote gnustep,
but I want to be able to use derived works of it that I get.  There's a
GPL FAQ on the main GNU site, or ask particular questions here.

Long term, this means replacing or getting consent from past authors
to do such a change.  The reference manuals are generated from LGPL'd
sources and I believe that they are LGPL'd because of that.  (Adam,
is that right?)
