As some of you already know I am the occasional

I have been planning some additions to the site to make it more
accessible but before I jump into anything that could be considered a
facelift I would like to get some opinions from y'all.
tbh: the only thing I've actually used the site for is soundcard info. The
idea of a facelift sounds good, this might prompt me to look at the rest of
the site. The front page is rather 'dry' and looks like it's only intended
for developers/experienced users - I'm also not keen on that pale grey-green
colour, but that's a personal thing. A more informative & extensive contents
listing here would probably encourage me to use more of the site.
Can you tell me what things you would like to have on
the website that
are not already there? What things have you noticed while using it that
are not user friendly?
I would like to add a database for some kind of card rating system.
What would you consider valuable things to rate a card against?
I don't know if 'rating' is quite the thing. But info on things like
soundfont support, whether the external MIDI port is known to work or not
would be useful info.
All opinions will be considered so don't hold back

and while we're at it:

and these also may be useful:

As you've asked, I'll go look at the site a bit more deeply.
That said, It's a useful resource, thanks for even bothering :-)
