In my opinion, current design looks old, outdated and bland. This sadly may reflect "badly" on the language reputation nowadays.

I find that the main PHP website is quite good actually, the design looks modern, it is quite clear and easy to use and it provides great access to documentation. I have to say the PHP documentation is usually great (and when it's not, just change it :) ), and the feature where you can just type php.net/function to get direct access to the documentation of a function/feature is great, although it doesn't search in methods, eg. http://php.net/setParam will not return anything about PDOStmt::setParam :( I also love the comments feature, people often provide great examples, tips or replacement functions for old PHP versions, this is very helpful! So I don't think that we need to redesign and start over, but iterate and make the current website better, please don't throw out what is already good :) It would be a recipe for disaster. But I have to agree that signing to the internals list wasn't an easy task as the website form wasn't working when I subscribed 2 years ago, but it might have been fixed?

# FrontEnd Framework We don't need that too, but we can use one ! there's some light-weight options out there.

Please only use HTML and CSS, don't use a JS framework. The website should be future-proof and not broken and hard to maintain in 6 months. Also it should be lightweight and not download a bunch of code just to display stuff. HTML and CSS are more than plenty for our needs :)
