With all due respect, all of the designs you've posted look like _weblog_ templates, and that doesn't seem appropriate to me for a software website. One of the things I most dislike about the weblog format is the fixed-width centre column and the large tracks of wasted space down the sides; although the official site is certainly "bare bones" (some would say "ugly") at the moment, at least the information density is high and there isn't any wasted space.

Cheers, Wincent
