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 > anyway to get through to news, events and whatever else is present on > the site.

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. > Honestly I'd prefer that (just one line!) for things like that, the > yearly survey, releases, CVEs, critical events...

So 3 people, 3 different views. We're going to need more input here guys :) Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
