Anyone else think the top of that page looks beautiful?
Yes, but they really geeked-out with the Tengwar in the upper left.
I don't think it is quite as "geeked-out" since the movies. I think an awful lot more people would now recognise the script (albeit having no idea what Tengwar is) - TeX itself is probably more "geeky" now :)
The fact that they still haven't replaced the double-hyphen in the n00b banner with a proper en-dash is a painful irony on a site devoted to TeX.
This has the potential to be a very useful resource though. I hope it takes off.
