mSQL or MySQL?  I think mSQL is dead.  MySQL is at http://www.tcx.se.

http://www.gnu.org is terrible.

MySQL's site is pretty bland.

http://www.perl.org is not fancy enough, and not enough color.

http://www.php.net is ok, but a little dark and cluttered.

http://www.gimp.org is nice.  Clean design, not cluttered.  Nice use of color. 
Similar to our current one, but jazzed up.  The little gimp guys eyes
move every few seconds.  Interesting.  I wonder if we could do some kind
of SQL select running every few seconds with pgaccess displayed.

http://www.freebsd.org is nice.

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~patrick/cqcam is much too dark.

http://www.python.org is too cluttered on the top.

http://www.realaudio.com is a mess.  Looks like a shopping mall.  I can never
figure that site out.

http://www.unifix-online.com is not bad, but needs more much color.

http://www.wilsontechnology.com/ is the page I did, which needs color
and more graphics.

http://www.csmonitor.com/ is nice, but it doesn't spread across the
window.

http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com was interesting.  Not cluttered.

http://www.pncbank.com/ is quite nice.  The center is cluttered, but the
margins, colors, and layout are nice.

http://www.suburban-cable.com/  is a thought item.  They put the menu
items on a remote control.  Perhaps we could do an SQL table, and have
that contain the menu items.  We could do it with the left margin, so it
would be

SELECT item
FROM menu
-----------
support
mailing lists
documentation
----------
(3 rows)

Kind of nifty for a left margin, if it could be done so it was not too
fancy and did not detract from the rest of the page.  I could do up a
sample picture using tcl if that would help.
