Why do they have FullSync on the front page? Last file update: 2005-03-08. Review page [1] has loads of mentions of non-running, non-syncing, and "too buggy to depend on". Not exactly a stellar project to be featuring so highly.
Meanwhile, it seems their navigation hasn't really changed, just received a new coat of paint. On the ScummVM pages, for instance: still shows 5 items in the main nav, unless support / develop is clicked. Then 4 more menu items and breadcrumbs appear, mouse-over menus on develop and the new ones, "support" changes to "donate", "share" appears out of nowhere, and the styling changes (different mouse-over font color on the navbar, for no reason). They also still have the crappy click-to-reload-the-page-to-navigate on the download-files list, side-by-side diff doesn't show word / character changes, just by line, and anything to do with the repo (browser, patches, etc) is a complete style and layout change from the rest of the site.

Put it back in the oven, it's not done yet.
