I gotta say- it's awesome that we have a forum where we can agree, disagree, and generally figure out every way we can make the project better. OK, here's my take on the front page: '1.5' will represent all the 1.5 releases; in my experience this is common for less detailed pages. It really is meant to call out that we've moved on from the 1.0 branch. Keep in mind, this page may simply not be for you. It is dominated by formatting and is meant to put the best face on ZF to new decision makers, developers, and contributors. We've tried to make the other pages more content driven, but it is safe to assume most of the content on the main site PHP site will be more or less introductory. The tools (wiki, IT, etc.) we have and will continue to keep as effective as possible for our active users/contributors. Ultimately, you haven't yet convinced me that the front page is not effective at what it sets out to do. For example, having a prominent download button makes it easy for everyone to download the project and get started, which is exactly what we want new users to do. Do you have more feedback on the site that might help us improve it? We will be adding more improvements over the next few weeks as we get it to a state we can be happy with until the next big update.
