I recently reviewed several different pages with a summary about OpenVAS.
I think none of the authors ever clicked a link on the main page.
They just decide about OpenVAS from reading/viewing this very first/main
page. In fact they seem to read even only the first section...
Maybe in the future we don't need it anymore. But I am
fully convinced that currently we need to make it as visible as possible
to vistors that OpenVAS is something they can rely on because
there are professional organizations dedicated to the project!
I doubt we create the wrong impression. Other projects apply
more direct advertisement mechanisms and seem to suffer from this.
