We don't have a way to access the Lazarus forum from the main page, so 
there is no way to make it “livlier” that way.

And for news: I prefer to spend the time coding instead of trying to 
think up something that might be useful news for the community.

That's also a difference between mikrocontroller.net and Free Pascal: 
the former is simply a community of enthusiastic users. They don't have 
a specific team that works on something concrete like we do.

There is no need to ask them, cause the main point is that they use some 
custom forum software and website. We don't for the forum and for the 
website we have static pages to reduce maintainenace.
