Awful, be cause it looks awful. Well designed, because that's gotta be one of the most clearly laid out sites I've ever seen on the Internet. You can find everything you want and that is of relevance to start getting involved in Perl 6. The download button is right there, but surrounded by things you ought to know first (about the Perl 6 community, documentation, and current efforts.) All in all, the site looks incredibly inviting to new people, and represents a nice 'odd-one-out' from the typical stuff you see on the web. You know, stuff that tries to look fancy, or cramp as much irrelevant information as possible into site.
Given that what Perl 6 now needs is new guys to work on the project, this site is nicely done.
Congratulations, Perl 6, if the language looks anything like the site, it will still look just as awful as Perl 5, but it will be much nicer to read and understand.
