That's a very legitimate point, Calum.  I guess the root of the problems is
that .org provides a lot of information on a single, rather daunting page.
 .com provides a lot of info well, but has a nice tree-style navigation
layout that starts with a simple home/root page.  Maybe we just need to get
the .org site to follow those good design principles a little more.  I know
that even for me, an OpenSolaris user since the early days of the project,
the .org site can be a little thick when it comes to finding what I need.
cheers,
Blake
