If you think the website is fine and just needs a few periodic updates that is an idication of the lack of understanding of the level of polish and marketing required to make a coin successful and stand out in the crowded market. Pretty website and drop dead easy to use software may not matter to you or other early adopters, but it is absolutely essential if this is to become anything more than a subset of a subset project. I wouldn't bother writing on here if I didn't want it to succeed. But being honest this project has a very long way to go and the recent pace has not been impressive. I still haven't seen a reason for the dev team to not accept more help. Its just bizarre.
The proper benchmark for comparison of development progress is not a throw-away pump&dump coin, but bitcoin, or possibly nxt, ethereum, xcp.
Development on these scales is somewhere between blazingly fast and fairly moderate.
It's silly to say core won't accept help, given that the code is in git. Did you submit a pull request that was rejected? No? Then what are you up about?
The "size issue" is a non-issue as long as one can easily run a fullnode. There is no time-scale on which you can reasonably project that it will be difficult to run a full-node on high-end commodity hardware. Given thin-clients, what more do you need? Thin clients are in development.
EDIT: I thought you were referring to the recurrent criticism that the blockchain is larger than bitcoin's. I suspect you were referring to transaction size. That is addressed by tacotime, below.
In short, everything you mentioned as a problem was not, in fact, a problem, with the possible exception of the fact that the website is neglected, but not much. It could use a few periodic updates, perhaps some more external links, but it covers what it really needs to cover.

I agree with Mumbles. I'm a humble troll but I speak the truth when needed. Any coin, that includes Bitcoin, Monero, Darkcoin, etc needs good marketing, not everyone is a genius crypto specialist, most people need fancy graphics and text to instill confidence. That means having a good looking website and etc.
and people here don't help the noobs such as me :\
