Did someone /really/ ask what was wrong with gnupg.org?? This is the problem 
with letting IT people come up with design instead of leaving it to 
designers. Yes, I can build a website with the output of every server, we can 
do ping times and reports. The average person doesn't want that though. 

The average person wants to come to OpenNICproject.org and see:
1) What is OpenNIC in under 200 words
2) A Quick Feature List
3) How to install it on my computer, explaining it as though I was a 5 year 
old

no more, no less. If people want more, we provide them links to get the 
additional information they need.

Also Brian you keep talking about how there are all these reports and things 
that we pull from the wiki and that's your reasoning for using the wiki 
software we have -- wiki's are not supposed to be for statically generated 
content. We could build that into the website (very easily). 

What we need the wiki for is organizational things: Projects, Teams, Guides, 
Development, etc. Wikis are supposed to be editable by people and provide a 
way to easily share information that can be built upon by other people, why 
would we want the wiki to share statistics?
