IMHO the startpage is missing to much options the user have. We offer beside download/wiki/obs a lot of other services which should be promoted better.
I miss news, lizards and the forum. Maybe there are other pages missing ...
This is a really excellent point. Although, maybe we should point to Planet rather than lizards? On one hand, we'd get deeper coverage w/Planet SUSE, but some "unofficial" content.
As downlaod, OBS and wiki is kind of our core what about leaving them as prominent as they are but offering at one place same page all the other stuff? eg. drop down menue with forums, news, lizards or add the topics to a line below, similar to the grey "the openSUSE project is.." So these important offerings are listed for everyone.
I guess we need to think about who we're trying to reach with the front page of the Web site. Of the top 3 items, is build service an appropriate destination for all new visitors? Now that they're available, wouldn't forums be a more suitable destination? Since we're on this topic, I think this page needs some room -- maybe nothing more obtrusive than the "project is" description -- for some news. Whether that's the 11.0 release or bug day or some other announcement. I really like the uncluttered design, but looking around at other sites, I think we may be missing some opportunities to provide users (and potential users...) with information and promote the project.
