I'm doing my best to update the website as soon as I can. It is very easy to
start complaining that "If the people responsible for the P/R stuff worked for
me, they would be jobless". If that person who doesn't know what the hell he is
talking about, and has already complained more than his share, can do a better
job, he is welcome to organize a WCCC (I warn him though, he should set aside
about one year of his life for organizing the event...).

>and I don't think you get paid for your updates on the website

No. In fact just today I paid 65 Euros for participation of Falcon and journal
subscription :)
