Hi Kendy, all,
I already spent a few thoughts on this great idea...

Hi,
For the marketing of 3.4.0, and to visually stress the meaning of
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/05/13/announcing-a-new-beta-release/
we would need a design of an 'adopt-o-meter' for the download page, a
kind of 'meter' that shows for which group is the version ideal: "early
adopters", "home users", "corporate users". This would be next to the
download links on the http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ ; for 3.3.2,
indicator would point to "corporate users", for 3.4.0, it would point to
"early adopters".
From the graphical point of view, I see it similar to

While I started with a meter, I went over just to colored areas because
I began to implement not only the existing versions, but our future
releases as well as daily/nightly builds and Beta versions.
without any numbers, just with color areas, with "early adopters" on the
left, "home users" in the middle, and "corporate users" on the right. I
would prefer to avoid red color for any of these; none means a "danger".
But - corporate users should be green ;-) The description of the
'adopt-o-meter' should be something like "Ideal for".
I would like to ask you for 3 versions, each one with the indicator
pointing to the different group.
This would be a very good idea as visual approach for the different groups.
My idea goes the other way round: People interested in downloading
should not be handled as part of a certain group (early adopters, home
users, corporate users), but everybody should find his/her own position
in the graphic and pick the version next to this position.
Anybody here who would be willing to design such a thing? ;-)
It's not at all a final design - not even a mockup.
It's just a visual brainstorming:
