* I have planned to update layout of GitHub Page, but it was not my
  priority.  Of course anyone may do it.

* I added search form on the site. See https://sympa-community.github.io/

Ok, it's all settled.

                                 *

FYI: This morning a issue was submitted:

  https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/issues/687

Duplicate contents matter with users and community.
(NOTE: Search engines pick both content either we wish or not.)
Especially, broken content matters.

If we publish information including documentation, we have to take
care not making users confused.  

That's why I propose to put robots.txt hiding probablly incomplete
content.
