My argument is that there is value in having a "just the screenshots" link directly from the landing page. Something like this:
http://colloquy.info/screenshots.html

Some folks will look at that kind of thing first before deciding to invest in reading anything.

Perhaps "whirlwind at the top" will cover it though, if people have access to visuals right away without diving into reading.

Cheers,
Katie

I think I was imagining the Getting Started Guide would serve this function. Perhaps a 3 second whirlwind overview section at the top? Pieter, do you have any thoughts on this.

I'm leery of adding pages / destinations. There's already:

+ Vision
+ Features
+ Getting Started Guide
+ FAQ

I believe these are simply just part of the Getting Started Guide but Pieter is a better person to answer that since I don't know how he is planning on working these in. My understanding is that they were just part of the guide and there wasn't some separate set of pages for this.

Given that we know screenshots are very popular, would it be a good idea to create an additional page that has the same screenshots from the Getting Started Guide (or a subset, or some other set)?

It seems like it would be not that hard to do. Screenshots play an important role for someone looking and just getting a sense of the app -- perhaps go ahead and make this easy?

It could be a static or wiki page.

Katie
