Right! I've thinking of this myself! I took a course in usability last 
semester, and I realized that that's the thing! The 'blog' didn't work 
out as intended.

What about changing the top like removing the "Welcome to the GNU 
Backgammon web site" and have a big download button instead?

BTW: I'm done with my thesis now. My thesis is called "GNU Backgammon 
finds genes in DNA". :-) I used the GNU Backgammon neural net, (with 
some modifications), trained it on a set of genes, *tada* a neural net 
that can both find genes and play backgammon. Not bad!

PS: I hope I can do some GNU Backgammon development again.
