I believe  a little toc at the top of the page would be useful for such
kind of users.

Or maybe a set of "teaser" paragraphs, like


FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the world's first
print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects and the
world's first output independent formatter.
Read more...

We have a demonstration of FOP Formatting available to help
you get started. Read more...

FOP, as an open source effort, does not have a tightly defined
release schedule. We do have notes on the current status and
future plans, though. Read more...

FOP goals are ambitious, targetting full compliance with
relevant W3C Recommendations. Read more...


And so on. The initial page is smaller and loads faster. The
specific topics can fit a full "first page" in one screen
(for may users), vs. fitting into a full screen's worth of
a three screen page. (There's got to be a better way to
word that, but my coffee pot's still busted.)

Anyone out there with a journalistic background could improve
on my examples quite a bit.

 Thanks,

 Joe

According to one of the Norman Nielsen usability studies,
  http://www.useit.com/alertbox/
nearly 30% of (average) web users wont find information
if it's not immediatly visible (i.e. they don't scroll
at all). This may explain something...

Maybe put it on top of the page (or an extra page?)
I fear quite a few people won't scroll down that far ...

Hi,

Comment:
Good idea.

Suggestion:
It probably wouldn't hurt to go ahead (on the page) and
answer the inevitable, "Can you please tell me when to
expect the release FOP0.20.4|FOP10 DR1 announced
on your status page?"

The same answer that would otherwise appear here,
that is.

Complaint:
My coffee pot is busted. ;)

 Thanks,

 Joe

Hi,

I added some status info to the website. So hopefully this will answer
some peoples questions (I'm sure they will still want to know more
things that are unknown).

Any comments, complaints, suggestions? (apart from my poor spelling!)

Keiron.
