It's better. Some more feedback: * The "Community" tab's name is strange since this the whole wiki is about the community. We need a name that says clearly it's for the "Developer of XWiki". * Subscribe to the mailing list should be next to the Support section above. I think we need a single support section and the options about what kind of support to get would be mentioned on that support page. * I think the home page is now too crowded with too much information. The mockup is probably misleading in term of vertical space it takes. * Do we need the "Features" list and the "What can I use it for" on the home page? Couldn't we have a visible "Features" button just after the introductory text instead? The idea would be to have introductory text + XE + stats below. This would allow to move the latest additions in the main page. * I think like some others that News and Blogs should be merged. We simply should use the xwiki.org Blog more. I don't understand why they'd need to be separate. We're progressing!
