Hi Blake!
Thank you very much for feedbacks!

We need to organize the community, so please send your feedbacks and
patches to artanis@gnu.org and feel free to CC me (mulei@gnu.org). We
need to let everyone know what's going on, and help people get involved.

Yes, I confess the website is out dated today.
But the story is that we don't have a better way to build the site at
that time. Of course I want to build the site with Scheme, but I found
few choices at that time. So I picked the static page generator of
Chicken Scheme to generate the Artanis website since Artanis was not
ready. It looks not cool today since it's incompatible with the latest
generator, and I don't want to spend much time on Chicken Scheme. But
anyway, I want to thank Chicken Scheme and the author of Hyde. ;-)
Today we are confidently to use Artanis to build a better website with
modern web frontend framework. However, I'm not as free as the past
days. I really hope people can do that for Artanis.

I like your idea, although the draft pic looks a bit crude. ;-D
