Hi Stef, I agree with almost all of what you say, but not this:

I very often get to open source project home pages by seeing their name somewhere, typing it into a search engine, and hitting the 'official site' link. I get there specifically because I want to know what the project is and why I should care (or, often, why it's a dependency of something I want to install / have installed), so I think it is important to have a concise definition of what GNUstep is on the front page (maybe with a link to a history page for people who want to read more). One other thing that I've said before: It really helps to have news on a front page that is updated frequently. I write on the Étoilé blog quite often, Gregory blogs about GNUstep, and so do a few other people. And yet, the front page is almost never updated. Having a side bar that linked to recent GNUstep news / posts really goes a long way towards making the project appear alive; if people have to check the svn logs to see if the project is active, they will assume that it isn't.
