News ticker is a great idea.
Of course, a really good idea would be some actual user/usability
testing!
Figure out what tasks we want people to be able to do, and what we
want
them to get from the page, and then <gasp /> see if they can do it!
This doesn't have to be expensive or lengthy; see

I'd suggest we in fact do that but that--but also continue with
redoing the homepage; the two are not in conflict with each other, as
I rather hope the homepage can be designed to change. I honestly
rather doubt that we'll learn that much from real usability testing,
as our goals are rather limited (download, learn). My main concern is
of course prolonging the effort. But if it can be done expeditiously,
then let's pay for the usability testing.
Fact: We do have some money to allocate for usability testing.
Best,
louis
