For website and messaging, can I suggest, (rather than taking design inspiration from a Hercules graphics card,) just going for a fairly clean, lightly moderated (for technical accuracy) wiki for the time being in the style of https://en.bitcoin.it? <https://en.bitcoin.it/?> This way, we defer major design challenges (perhaps reducing design needs to a logo and basic colour scheme for now). This also might provide a bit more flexibility around documentation, as at the moment all changes and updates to docs have to be PRed, which can get a bit cumbersome.
