I just fixed that. Thanks for noticing!

I probably should have posted my version of the patch before committing it, to
get feedback. Sorry.
The goal of my changes was primarily to make it so that we're not replicating a
lot of information that's kept more accurately elsewhere, like the list of
current versions and the list of current release notes. So I removed that
table and added a link to Jira. Now, when we make a release, we don't need to
update the documentation.

> One of our tech writers has been looking at the state of Hadoop
> documentation, and suggests reworking the Hadoop front page to be more than
> just a release page (as it seems to be now).
> Especially in comparison with other other apache project pages, ours is
> uninviting to users unfamiliar with the premise of the project. She's
> suggesting updating the page to include more meta-information about the site,
> in addition to most of the links and news items currently on the page.
