We finally put the new web site of Seaside online. The official announcement:
After too many delays the new Seaside web site has finally gone online. Since we switched hosts it might take a moment until the DNS update propagates to you. The first thing you’ll notice is the updated look for which we no longer have to excuse. We cleaned up the content and added a lot of new stuff. Among others you’ll find interactive examples, feed aggregation Monticello commit logs and the answers to often asked questions like ’What is the best Swiss cheese?’. Under the hood we made a lot of technology upgrades. We finally run on Seaside 2.8 and the Pier CMS with several plug-ins, we are also hosted at Seaside-Hosting. The only way to eat more dog food would be running on SqueakNOS.
The page is not yet fully finished (and probably never will be) but we feel we’re at the point where it’s significantly better than the old one. So if you have suggestions for improvements or want to help get in contact with us.

nice site, but if you want suggestions:
could you somehow fixt those ugly urls? can’t they be done without those querystrings?
also, some of the urls contain spaces. it would be better to replace them with underscores (or hyphens).
i understand that seaside is mostly used for stateful web applications, where the url’s look-and-feel is not important, but in this case, we are talking about a normal webpage, where imho it’s important to have cool URIs... (http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI)
Gábor - because it’s a Seaside application (they eat their own dog food), the URL’s are going to be ugly no matter what.
