I appreciate the work that went into the website, but I'll vote for a cleaner interface. I think the following should be up front: * What is pygame with a pretty set of images showing what it can do * Link straight to download (including installation instructions) * Link to documentation * Link to tutorials * List of 'news'
I think scrolling is ok in a normal interface, but only for older news stories. I really like the book "don't make me think" for doing UI on a website.
