This is possible. I also agree with Alex design, but while working on his
proposal, I think at least the following should be changed:

1. No extra example page, just a few on the landing page: This is a nice
idea, but we have a [wiki][1], including Syntax highlighting, where more
authors can provide better examples. On the website the maintenance is up to
very few people.

2. Reduce to only needed [CSS][2] and [_javascript_][3], what is is actually
all good for? More documentation.

3. Merging [my work on the News Feeds][4]. To have a central distribution
place for important release news.

@Alex, if you agree, I suggest to branch again from [changeset 38][5] and
pick some cherries from my branch, that can be closed afterwards. Do you
have write access?

1. No extra example page. - That's ok, but we should make sure there are some nice examples on the wiki we can link to directly.
2. Reduce CSS/JS - Only the relevant components from the Foundation framework were included in the CSS, as far as I remember. Foundation has a customization page[1] and docs[2].
3. News Feed - Great, will start with that. I have write access.
