Daniel,
Thanks for your interest in the development. We are currently focusing
on the development of the libreoffice.org site in order to get the
site up quickly. The site you are looking at has a longer term
approach and is not going to be complete in the short term.

We are organising a conference call soon to gather the website team
together in order to better coordinate this work. It would be great if
you could come along.

I will add these items to the list of actions for the Drupal
development, but I would not expect to see anything actioned here for
at least the next few weeks due to the urgency of the live site.

Thanks for contributing, and we would love to see you get involved in the team.
Michael Wheatland
