It was only my intention to highlight the fact that the website
seems to be in disarray. I am sure you and the other volunteers
are doing "great work" albeit that there is no real verification
of this fact because of NDAs etc. However, it doesn't paint a
very good picture of an organisation, even one staffed by
volunteers (maybe fighting for their jobs), if the most visible
and public part of the organisation appears to be neglected.

Ok. Please regard my message as an offer to help.
The website does need help and if I can contribute to it
please let me know. Broken links are easily fixed but
providing quality and timely information is something
else entirely.

If OpenMPE produced some "goods", I'm sure the board would get
some resounding praise and positive feedback. So far, this hasn't
been the case and I, for one, would be very happy to hear that
some solid, definable progress had been made. After all, it's
almost 2006!
