Looks great. However, the first line of text says "Hadoop is a
software platform lets one easily write and run applications that
process vast amounts of data." It's missing the word "that" after
"platform".
Also, the word "one" is passive. "you" would be better.

--------------------------------------
the "News" link in the left hand menu does not jump down to the
News section as it should
I just fixed that. Thanks for noticing!
seems like it would have been best to commit the patch verbatim
and submit a second patch?
I probably should have posted my version of the patch before
committing it, to get feedback. Sorry.
The goal of my changes was primarily to make it so that we're not
replicating a lot of information that's kept more accurately
elsewhere, like the list of current versions and the list of
current release notes. So I removed that table and added a link to
Jira. Now, when we make a release, we don't need to update the
documentation.
http://lucene.apache.org/hadoop/ front page is not user-friendly

One of our tech writers has been looking at the state of Hadoop
documentation, and suggests reworking the Hadoop front page to be
more than just a release page (as it seems to be now).
Especially in comparison with other other apache project pages,
ours is uninviting to users unfamiliar with the premise of the
project. She's suggesting updating the page to include more meta-
information about the site, in addition to most of the links and
news items currently on the page.
