Converting this look to HTML isn't difficult, as long as we can use
CSS. (But of course the web site must be usable with Netscape 4,
it just doesn't have to look identical IMHO).

I'll try to do an HTML version over the weekend.

I don't know which tool is currently used for generating the pages,
and whether we would be willing to switch tools, if that would simplify
generating masses of pages and being able quickly change the look
for all pages.
