Here are some bugs dealing with web stuff: http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?string=web&project=1&search_name=&type[]=&sev[]=&pri[]=&due[]=&reported[]=&cat[]=&status[]=open&percent[]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=&do=index also, don't forget that http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=2 (aur) is full of web related bugs. For something more concrete, my 2 pet peeves for the arch website are: 1. inconsistent headers between the new headers and the bugs/aur header 2. websvn is b0rked and needs some repairs. If you can fix those, that would be awesome :) Btw, you can do whatever you think will improve archlinux. Hope this helps. Cheers!
