While there is nothing about the r-project site that I would consider fancy,
it is pretty functional.  I would be interested to hear more about what you
hope to accomplish by re-doing the web site.  Fancy graphics may just slow
down the experience for those not on broadband.  After all, the r-help list
doesn't even like HTML in email, so it may not like too many fancy stuff on
their website either.
