I am pretty open to someone reorging the site.  I maintain the  
documentation and dev sections, so anything outside of that, I am  
perfectly willing to stay out and just give comments and help.  I  
think it would be good to have the site work better, and it sounds  
like you are willing to do it, which is great.  /dev and /docs could  
use some reorg too, but I have some strong opinions on that one.
