Looks great.

LOL, the first thing I thought when I saw it was "a tombstone???". 
Perhaps that's just me. The graphic is well done, otherwise...

Awesome.

Yeah, it'd be good if we could contribute to smaller fixes on the 
website. svn.zope.org definitely sounds good. We could add a 
grok/website directory, as a sibling to grok/trunk, grok/branches, 
grok/tags. What do you guys think?

Kevin, you need to become a Zope contributor anyways to add yourself to 
CREDITS.txt ;).

Cool, thanks for the offer. I agree with Martijn.

By the way, I could not access your site from my ISP in Germany which 
was very weird. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a traceroute and now I'm 
on the road for a month... It would be quite inconvenient for me not to 
be able to access the grok website :/. But it's clearly a problem on my 
end...
