The site somehow grabbed your attention strong enough to get you to read it later.

It's very close, though I now understand why you didn't make "About the Hurd" a heading - it looks strange to see the section above in the table of contents. That's something I would undo again (sorry). The news still look a bit too large (they look like only news wil follow), but I hope that my CSS snippet for your layout idea can change that.
