Yes, you're right. I'm not exactly the best person to do this (not a 
native speaker), but I've revised the index page to make it more clear 
(and moved the old index page to an "intro" page). I could use some 
graphics or a video, but the only "non-techy" video explaining onion 
routing I found is a clip from the US series Numb3rs and not exactly the 
most concise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIDxDMwwlsw :-]

At the moment we're discussing possibly free hidden services/eepsite 
hosting on the torservers mailinglist.

A "themometer" definitely needs to be there. I'm thinking about a model 
like "1TB per Euro" and a slider so users can set their own level of 
participation. Customizations like an own node name, contact information 
and DNS name "cost extra".
Progress is somewhat slow because I only can work on it in my spare time.

Thanks for your feedback and your "approval"! :-)
