This doesn't help with your website design, but I think MetaCRS should be retracted as an OSGeo incubating project. It doesn't meet any of the project definitions for OSGeo, and other than it being a collection of Community Projects -- the concept didn't exist when MetaCRS was formed -- all related to each other by topic, there's very little hope that anything substantial enough to actually be an incubated OSGeo project is going to arise from it.

MetaCRS is a very useful mailing list.
