There was another proposal and discussion about redesign in December and 
the idea to spend effort on this wasn't too well-received... :-\
Yet I dare to add my comments:

    * I would refrain from using dull MS default fonts, please! The
      MingW site referred to doesn't use the omnipresent non-font, either.
    * I would rather not include obscure JavaScript snipplets pointing
      to google-analytics or doing some other "page tracking".
    * To keep maintenance easy, layout should be strictly separated from
      existing contents (as I tried to demonstrate myself in the
      December dicsussion). This seems to be the case with the current
      proposal.
