Great feedback!!. Keep em coming. The reason i proposed to have tweets and facebook status on home page is to show tweets from various contributors. Anybody visiting the home page can then see the community around OpenEJB. A community around a project is quite assuring to first-time or early adopters. We can definitely debate the placement of these or whether or not we even want these on the website. I just threw these things in this thread exactly for this reason, to debate and improve our website. Right now have added a pretty ugly looking support for displaying tweets from #OpenEJB, however would change that to displaying tweets from contributors list and listing only those tweets which refer to #OpenEJB, and it will have the look and feel of our website. I just get a very small window during the day to work on all this stuff, so could not finish it .
I like the idea of "Special Features" , or something like "Not Convinced yet - Lets get you hooked to OpenEJB" and then follow it with a list of things which you find really special about OpenEJB. If you have special features in mind, feel free to list them here. I understood the download area visibility part, not the slideshare part. How would slideshare help in the download area?
