Hmm.. I fail to see the OBS as "core".
It certainly is wrt services that are offered to developers/packagers
alike, but not to end-users.
I mean, that link goes to the restricted developer web interface of the
OBS, not to the OBS search page, or anything else that would be relevant
to mere mortals.
I'd definitely prefer to see News as "core", and a smaller pic for OBS.
I wouldn't put the Forums there, because then.. what's with the
mailing-lists and IRC ? Arguably, the same argumentation as the one I'm
using above could be applied here too. If we do consider mailing-lists
and IRC to be much less of a target to less openSUSE-experienced people,
then yeah, a "big" icon for Forums would be OK.
Maybe a "big" icon for "Talk about it" that would link to an KISS page
about the most prominent communication channels ?
(but that would be a bigger change, -1 IMO)
