Help wanted: working on the GHC webpage

Hello *,

For a while now, I've been wanting to do a facelift on the GHC
homepage, but among many other things it's been a low priority. I'd
like for people to help, so I've tried to get the ball rolling.

The webpages existed in a Darcs repository previously (which wasn't
available online), but earlier today I converted them to a git
repository which you can find here:

https://github.com/haskell-infra/ghc-homepage

The site is currently composed of a set of "server side include" files
that have a crude form of HTML templating. So it's mostly just pretty
verbose to add or refactor anything, and the sites templating and
styling is quite old (it dates back at least 10 years!)

So, I'm making an official call for some help. At the very least, I'd
like to at least end up converting the site to something like Hakyll
which is doable without me causing a lot of damage to the stylesheets,
but for the actual page itself I'd really appreciate it if anyone
could help out! Please send pull requests or file issues, it's much
appreciated.
