I agree in general, that was just a cut'n'paste to show layout - I like the
news and events sections, but I'd go for the last 5-10 blog entries (title
only, I think).

Only the frontpage is fine, especially if there are navigation links

Out of curiosity, let me invert that then - do you think there is ever a
situation that
would warrant such a banner?

I'm a little unclear, sorry - are you saying that you're ok with moving
everything
on the white background to the /introduction page, it's just the
re-organisation
of the blue-background area that you have an issue with?

I do think I current frontpage needs something doing - if we haven't sold
people
enough for them to click on "Learn More" in the first screen, they probably
won't scroll down either.

Difficult discussion yeah - more voices please! :)

I do think  we need to be careful about how we use that, if it's too
frequent it
will really annoy everyone, or (worse) completely lose it's impact.

 Only for people who already have a Foreman install *and* have enabled
the widget. New users and users on secure sites still need to know :)

Again, I do think we have to ration the use of such a banner - but such
metrics would be interesting to know if we could get them, I agree.

So 3 people, 3 different views. We're going to need more input here guys :)
