This pretty matches the comment in my mail that you forgot to quote: "My comment: It should be clear that we are not talking about the current project pages when we ask for more direct links, they will of course need a redesign." So I'm glad to see that we agree here. > The front-page is (mainly) for end-users... And I'm pretty sure the basic > target-group of the front-page itself will not change (at least for so > long as the "rest" of the pages is not end-user friendly) The front page is for end-users *now*. And the majority of project leads wants to change that. So don't talk about the past, let's talk about the future.
