Hi. I like the vibrant new couch site and appreciate the initiative that has gone into it. I agree with Benoit that text size is too large to be easy to be easily readable for volume of text in first two sections. Generally text this large should be used a bit more sparingly.
An alternative is simply breaking text of 'A Database for the Web' to two or three columns of content, with each point encapsulated. The simple twitter Bootstrap site does this well, isolating 9 points under "Designed for everyone, everywhere". http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ Similarly, for Want to Contribute? section, images would allow text to be broken up and sized to make more appropriate. Smiling happy people collaborating or having fun might be good. Perhaps 4 great images or videos from conference, events whatever. We want to show that there are real people behind this that are passionate and support couch. There must be a raft of these from over the years. I'd be great to pull max's couchtv into this with all the great video content there. Lastly it would be great for there to be a "Built with CouchDB" section with cool site or app thumbs on a slider to add some motion on the site and to cycle these out. One site could be randomly chosen from submitted images as featured side. There is nothing more telling for someone unfamiliar to see a site, or app they already know being driven by couch. In any case, happy to see change here and nice that a responsive design has been implemented. Please consider comments constructive as I realize all work takes time, thought and initiative. In general, appreciate the clean appearance and simplicity.
