I kind of like it, but as Thomas said, the joyful is missing :)

With Drupal we could have the chance for community building, meaning
people could log in, and share their config files, or scripts and what
not. But if the community doesn't want that, I'm fine by it. But the
idea here is that anybody (with proper credentials) could add pages to
the manual, and that the bug reports and feature requests could go via
the website (people expect that kind of thing). But again, if you want
to simply be old-fashioned (1996 anyone?) it is also possible.
Personally I think it would be cool if we could have a more modern and
functional website. Simple doesn't need to mean lack in functionality.

Drupal is flexible enough to go without the blocks on the sides.
