I would LOVE to see a bit more structure. Patches gladly accepted!
I quite like the simple, comprehensive couchdb site,

for structure. Something like that would be great.
A recent blog post about what a good project site should contain,

In summary, we have all the information, now just time to make it more
accessible.

For sure.
