I want to help but can only provide opinion :\
Just going through the website pages from left to right things that I notice

1. The sub menu items at the top left under the main menu (small grey
text links) really don't catch the eye at all.
Their fine for further technical information, but wouldn't put any
marketing information behind them as they are likely to be missed.

2. The download section doesn't have the windows binaries under the
unofficial packages section.
infact that section could just link directly to
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/E17BinaryPackages

3. Why does the support page even exist, it seems like duplicate
information and even links to the old wiki.
A clearer way to present the topic of support would be to split the
page (horizontally into columns following the style of the main page)
and have "user support" which could let you subscribe to the user
mailing list, link to relevant trac wiki pages, and forum,
exchange.enlightenment.org, etc. and then "developer support" with
similar mailing list links, developer doc links, and even show
companies who provide consulting services.

4. Contributing also needs some love,
links to pages that do it better(imho):
http://www.blender.org/development/ http://www.gimp.org/develop/
http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora (although the links on that page
are broken)
The theme i see on these pages is the idea of breaking the
"contributing" task into skill tasks that people may have, then
providing them with short destription of the task before linking them
to tutorials on how to begin.
Now I don't really expect the e community to have so much time to
write up those tutorial pages, but short description and a few
specific links is doable.

5. I like the contact page, those grey links up the top right corner
could be brought down into the body of the document with a picture of
the world or something. its just a bit of fun really anyway and bright
pictures please people.

6. The craziest issue I believe is the spread of the documentation,
* the old wiki - which has too many links going to it
* the newer trac wiki - which is hidden underneath the tracker heading
* the docs page

some thoughts on possible solutions
* have the trac wiki as the page that "docs" goes to and make the main
trac wiki page as appealing as the current docs page,
* show clear separation of user documentation, to developer
documentation eg http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Main_Page
* the tracker menu should link straight to the tickets section or
something relevant to the tracking capabilities of trac itself

7. just noticed that you have two news pages, one in the trac and one
on the main title that are different..... could be amalgamated.

overall there is a lot of duplicate pages showing different
information, like two websites have been mashed together.

thanks for asking
