This has been a big rallying cry for me and unfortunately I have lacked the design skills / time to help get something going :( However, I am happy to help in terms of workflow structure (really keep it similar, but change the homepage) and in a review capacity should you like it.

There are some ideas that I proposed here (http://www.pgcon.org/2014/schedule/events/641.en.html) around the homepage. I would be happy to discuss online / offline.

Best,
