The new site looks very nice.  I really like the icon of Octave with
multiple sciences around it.

I have been lately navigating the web with javascript turned off and I
find it kinda sad how much it is used to serve static content.  This
also happens in the Octave Forge site.  At the moment, the header bar,
which is needed for basic navigation of the site, is not displayed
unless javascript is available.  Would be nice if javascript is not
required for essential functionality, specially since the site is
mainly static.

Note that this is not an issue of the new site you've done, this issue
already existed before.  I'm just bringing it up because you're
remaking on it and would be nice if that issue could be sorted at the
same time.
