I am not convinced that a seperate website is a good idea. Nor needed. Lets 
see how people looks for something they need, they first go to their favorite 
search engine and enters a few keyword. If they know of krita, our page is 
the first one to show in all major (english, for french version I got the 
wikipedia page) search engine, and it's what really matters.
Now if you really want a shortcut URL to give in conference or in 
presentation, it can point to koffice.org/krita.

But a better website is really needed once someone has reach the page, but not 
only for Krita, but for KOffice and KDE as well, for that matter (I heard 
that they are plan for a new KDE website for KDE4 release which might be an 
improvement). And for KOffice and Krita, we could start by recruiting a 
webmaster, who have time to take care of rewritting the presentation of each 
application.
