Not at all. We have already recieved some content updates from Omar, and we
have all of Omar's current code from his SVN repository. If someone wants to
take his content changes and fit them in to the current design, we can do
that. I don't, since I know there are issues with the current design
regarding sub-navigation that I don't want to deal with (and apparently no
one else does either) given that those issues go away with Omar's design.

I'm not sure I understand the above, but FWIW I've always wanted to move to
Australia if people are putting relocation packages together ;-)

I'm scared to ask for specifics :-)
