Some examples of software pages I like: - http://perl6.org/ (okay, one can discuss about the colors, but I guess it is intentional) - http://cream.sourceforge.net/ (quite minimalistic) - http://strawberryperl.com/ (nice logo) - http://monodevelop.com/ (more content, still usable, see the download section!) - http://redcareditor.com/ - http://fantom.org/ > 04.

It should enable potential users to 1. learn what Padre is, 2. motivate them to try Padre, 3. make it as simple as possible to find the preferred way of installation for their platform, and 4. direct them to solutions in case they have problems. Experienced users should find 1. information about updates and 2. about advanced functionality, as well as 3. ways to contribute to Padre's development. > 05.
