Has anybody collected a list of questions related to the website that people asked most the first time they got on the lists ? If yes, this would be an invaluable feedback which we all should study prior to deciding changes.
i believe Daniel, citing Jakob Nielse, argued exactly the contrary: 'First Rule of Usability? Don't Listen to Users'

Building such a study should have been a marketing task: to collect feedback, judge it, prioritize the needs based on facts and then work with the website designers and usability specialists to reach the best HP formula, no matter if the initiative came from Website project or from Marketing project.
Louis directed us to website statistics, to see what pages are really used by visitors, but this information should be taken with a grain of salt, because usage is influenced by our current design
Why not first study the OOo site's visitors needs ? Analize the results and then decide the best HP formula ?
Don't we need a clear document based on facts first so that we decide knowing the real needs ?
because those numbers are flawed, and generated by our previous design decisions.
we *should* use those numbers, but not consider them as absolute truths.
