Just to be clear: your proposal is great Caty but I think it's not adapted for what I envision for the new xwiki.org.
I'd really like that we think about a community web site: - a one line project description (ecosystem) with a link to "projects" - a small space reserved to XE (just an image that can be clicked for ex) - a large space reserved for the community as described below.
