[xmonad] Home page redesign

[Don Stewart]

I would LOVE to see a bit more structure. Patches gladly accepted!

I quite like the simple, comprehensive couchdb site,

for structure. Something like that would be great.

In summary, we have all the information, now just time to make it more
accessible.

For sure.
