It might be useful to get feedback from newcomers to the past few

did get questions from a few newcomers in Berlin about the web
site, thinking the IETF was a bit out of touch and behind the
times. This may make it difficult to attract newcomers and
younger engineers.
Maybe I should draft some text on "Why this website looks so boring"
for the newcomers' page? (Seriously.)
I like that idea.
My personal experience is that I never saw a redesign of a web site that
actually made it easier to use.
