Please don't do that, you've been a great help on the wiki!

I like the *design* of the new site -- it's fresh and light and not like
a million other moin-wikis out there. I think that makes a difference:
I'm always positively surpriced when I see a project that has taken the
time to create their own theme for their website. It gives a stronger
impression instead of seeing yet another MediaWiki installation.

As for the content, then I don't really like the workflows guide. Sorry
Arne -- it has some nice workflows, but I would prefer a normal tutorial
and I think it should be on the wiki.

The new site has a big, friendly blue download-button which I think is a
huge improvement over the wiki. On the wiki, I have to click a normal
sizes link saying 'download', 'binary package' or 'download and build
From source'. They all lead me to

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Download

where I'm met with a wall of text and bullet points (and a yellow
warning triangle?).
