Regarding the content:

* FTR I had given some thoughts before in 
http://markmail.org/message/nqzkxfefty32qmjw Summary: I’m not fully convinced 
but I’m willing to give it a try
* I think we need to handle the fact that XWiki should work without internet 
connection and the connection to youtube will only works when you have internet 
connection. Unless we think it’s ok and admins will edit this page to remove 
the video if they don’t have internet connection?
* I was wondering if it was ok to use complex wiki syntax on this page (we use 
that for the table at the bottom), but maybe it’s ok and would serve as an 
example. Although I think users should probably use the {{container}} Macro 
instead (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Container+Macro). 
The disadvantage is that when you edit in WYSIWYG you cannot change content 
without editing the macro ;) So taking everything into account maybe what is 
there is the least bad solution, especially if we favor WYSIWYG users by 
default.
* I see the content explains a lot how the wiki works but I thought that was 
the job of the tour and from what I’ve seen at 
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageTour it looks very 
similar. Aren’t we not providing duplication and does it matter?
* Note that the home page will need to be re-translated in all languages (and 
we’ll need to add it on l10n) ;)
* One nice pro is that the home page will load much faster (since the AS is not 
on it) ;)

All in all, +1 to try it and see what feedback we get.

Thanks
