Can we have both? Some longer living, semi-'official' news and a more
frequently changing list of recent blog posts. I find both important
and interesting. And having blog posts listed on the main page may be
an incentive to more people writing new posts.
Adding "Blog" to the main navigation bar is surely helpful. For
something more similar to what Andre asked for, I've just committed a
test to
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/test/index.html
(if it gets published, no problem, it will still be in the test area).
There you can see a block with the titles of the latest posts, good to
show immediately what the blog topics are.
That's right. One (maybe radical) idea comes into my mind:
What if we stop the normal news (and the separate news webpage on
".../news/index.html") and post everything in the blog? And write some
headline on the homepage?
I was thinking something similar. Shouldn't all new stories go onto the blog?
And once we figure out how to update this live from the feed, I'd love
to split the right side into three areas, one for the most recent blog
posts, another for the most recent extensions and another for the most
recent templates.
So in a small space we can rotate headline from the blog, as well as
templates, extensions, etc.
I like your ideas (Andrea, Marcus, Rob) in general. But
- I think the distinction between blogs and news can be a good thing if
we understand blogs more as personal opinions of individual community
members and news as 'official' announcements. If we mix blogs and news
then I see the danger that news will be swept out of view by the much
more frequently written blog posts.
- Listing blog posts, extensions and templates will only work if we have
frequent updates of extensions and templates. I have to admit that I
did not follow those two in the past months. Is there enough traffic to
talk about?

We keep going to post news also on the homepage *and* get more blog posts.
Another thing:
Put the x recent headlines directly between nav bar and "I want to learn
more ...". Yes, that would put everything a bit lower, but we would get rid
of the right side and the entire page will be much more smaller. Better for
mobile devices. And the news are always on top.
So a single column?
Another idea would be to introduce jQuery and implement one of the many sliders:

Unless there are objections, I plan to port it to the "real" homepage
during the weekend.
For me that would be fine.
