Jeremy,
Here are examples of some of my project landing pages:
No table of contents:
http://mackyle.github.com/fakeroot/
With table of contents:
http://mackyle.github.com/blocksruntime/
Slightly different style:
http://solwidget.googlecode.com/git-history/www/About.html
Or an even smaller landing page (it's embedded in the "readme" section
-- it's not my project, but I created the mirror and did the landing
page for the mirror) that may most closely match what you're looking
for as it's short (fits on a single page) and has everything you might
want to know about the project if you're in a hurry right there in
front of you:
http://repo.or.cz/w/class-dump.git
Let me know if you like any of them and I'll produce a page for you if
you give me the content (I'm assuming you'd want just a little bit
more content than you have on your example landing.html page). :)

Hey guys,
I thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone has any mad web
skills they'd like to show off.
I want to give the XQuartz landing page a bit of a face lift to make
it easier for people to install the latest bits without having to
dive through a wiki. wiki's are great for detailed information, but
many people probably just want a big "click here to get the bits"
button like http://www.firefox.com ... I don't want to replace the
existing wiki, just provide a new landing page.
The main problem is that I really suck at web design. No really,
I'm down right awful at it. I can handle all the technical bits,
but I can't do CSS and layout to save my skin. So if you've got
layout chops and want to help out, please drop me a line either on
the list or personally.
I threw up a quick example of what I'm aiming for content wise here
(and to serve as proof of my lack of HTML skills):
http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/testing/landing.html
And as fair warning, if nobody responds, that ugly page might just
be what I end up using ;)
Thanks,
Jeremy
