Seems that whoever on the Sourceforge team redesigned the site never
heard of the "KISS" principle: Keep it simple, stupid. (US Navy 1960,
according to Wikpedia.)

If they are un-redesigning the Javascript, could they please also
un-redesign the CSS to make the text black rather than grrrrrey, and a
bit larger to make use of the acres of blank space.
They could also do something about the fixed linelengths that do
not respond to resizing a window.
And restore the ability of a user's saved URL file (which contains
username and password) to log straight in with one doubleclick.
