It was not out of lack of familiarity with ES but lack of time when we worked 
on the redesign and first fundraiser round, two years ago. Gratis. In our spare 
time (https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/pull/303 et al).

You of all people should know that comments like that are hurtful as they imply 
we just didn’t care enough to learn ES. But in fact both Tim and Honza (an 
elastic employee) reviewed the code and made lots of suggestions.

Since Paolo volunteered to work on an improved version, what does that say 
about the expectations you’ve set for him now?
