Heh. You do bring up a good point. I mean, I still ftp to NetBSD to
download images. When I have to do that, I find myself looking and
installing ncftp3/lftp. And by habit or use, I know where to look for
either the iso or pkgsrc current. 

The site too can do with a uplift of making it somewhat pleasing. But
the thought of suggest a change - erm going from today's site to a more
dynamic one - say ubuntu.com actually even considering a social media
presence all linked back to NetBSD. Engaging and bringing a new
audience.

Though, I bet 90% of the BSD folk reading the para above would have thrown
up slightly at the thought. So any chances, especially ones that make
NetBSD.org not feel circa 2002, will meet resistance I feel.

Is there a UI group that gives design ideas or drives changes to the
website?
