some initial feedback/thoughts: 1) News vs. announcements: I am aware of the motivation for different categories, but honestly think - and I know that I am repeating myself here - that this should be merged in the spirit of simplicity / less confusion (especially given our moderate update frequency). I could imagine to see this replaced by a section which references externals articles, news items, or even Twitter posts. Section name "External news & articles", "OpenCSW in the press" or similar. 2) Icon navbar to the right: People will most likely want to install our packages when they come to the page for the first time. Thus, I would strongly suggest to put "GET IT" first. Suggested overall sorting (implies grouping, can we add spacing?): GET IT \ PACKAGES -- package related SEARCH / FEEDS #OPENCSW \ BUG TRACKER -- communication channels MAILING LISTS / WIKI Or could we further reduce this list by grouping the communication channels into a single "SUPPORT Get in touch with us" or similar icon which links to http://www.opencsw.org/support/ .. (which in turn could then be structured into short sections "Mailing lists", "Bug Tracker", ...). Just so that we provide a well selected, short list of main navigation entry points on the front page. 3) Releases and updates: Is this going to be filled with our automated package release feed? Currently it might give the impression that our last released package is from 25th of August. 4) BUG TRACKER. Re-wording suggestion "View or report issues" instead of "Access to Mantis". 5) FEEDS. Right navbar entry is fine, but I would suggest to remove the redundant Feeds entry from the top navbar.
