Thanks. I can modify the colors and the logo idea was just to see what
people thought. The design was very short work and was my attempt at
giving back to the Cygwin project. I was needing feedback and wanted
to know if this was a possibility.

I can do the HTML/CSS, but yes you would probably need to come up with
some organization to avoid doing a lot of tedious manual editing. The
design hasn't yet been cut, since I didn't know if it would be
accepted.

So, what should I do? I assume Christopher Faylor manages this, based
on his response. I was hoping to work out the details and get some
kind of plan, but if it's not an interest - I understand.

Cheers,
Kris
