Putting photos + bios on the home page will help win trust with new visitors. It gives the message that NHibernate is a team of seasoned developers, not some rabble of spurious open source hackers (decision makers often fear the worst!). By winning trust, it will also increase adoption. That's my thinking at least. The failing links, duplicate forums and stale content might be solved by creating gravity around the latest resources. Creating gravity means doing things that pull visitors back time and time again (google forum, nhforge.org etc). One thing we could do to give nhforge.org gravity would be to make the home page as official as possible. This would leave no room for confusion, so people know it's the place to come to. My hope is that putting developer faces on nhforge.org home page will help to make it more official, and therefore reduce the confusion, and ensure visitors keep coming back. Tobin
