It is an all or nothing deal, I have tried repeatedly to provide
facilities for someone to improve the site but all i seem to get are
unhelpful suggestions of how they think it should be done.

If the active members want it to be done by someone else then they can
have the domains before i have to pay to renew them (4th dec, 9th jan)
and i will wash my hands of it. 

But so far no-one has made any credible offer to take over, so I have
taken the one helpful suggested new design, mashed it into a pmwiki skin
to make it maintainable, and are preparing to switch over to it and just
leave it at that.
