You're right, of course!  I've added them to the companies section of

 Indeed! I would think this was useful to users and developers alike. Could
 we make it more prominent somehow?

It's somewhat more prominent on the existing site (before this update
lands).  That doesn't seem to have been enough to get it noticed.

If we want to broaden the audience of this useful things, all in one
place, I think it should have a new name, and that might point the
way to figuring out how we promote it. Develop*ment* Center would be
a little better.  Mission control is the right idea, but it's used a
lot.

Once it has a theme and its scope is resolved, I can use a graphic to
draw more attention to it.

Side note on audience: The vast majority of the Qpid site is,
naturally enough, geared toward users.  It prioritizes the information
and resources you need to (a) evaluate Qpid and (b) use Qpid to build
your own applications.  This necessarily meant that developer
priorities got pushed down a little.  I created the developer center
to set aside a place to focus on what Qpid developers need most.  I
personally keep it bookmarked so I can quickly jump to jiras and link
to posts in the archives, etc.

Looks good on android portrait and landscape, the hamburger menu is
neat. I never noticed developer central before - very handy set of
shortcuts! Keep up the good work.

 Hi, everyone.  I've got a pending website update up for review.
 
   http://people.apache.org/~jross/transom/head/
 
 There are a number of changes.  I have summarized them below.
 
 Please take a look and tell me how it works for you.  In particular,
 I'd be interested to know how it functions on any mobile devices you
 have.
 
 I will be testing the update this week in preparation for committing
 it after the 0.26 vote closes.
 
 Thanks,
 Justin

 Navigation
 
  - Up in the top right there is now a hamburger menu.  This is
 useful I think in general, but it's particularly important for mobile
 devices, where a lot more scrolling is required to reach any
 navigation further down the page.  The developer center is now linked
 from inside this menu instead of the bottom of the home page.
  - Search is also changed a little: it will pop down without an
 additional HTTP request.
  - I moved the information on notification lists to Notifications
 sections on the issues and source code pages.  The source code page
 now holds the Continuous integration section as well.
 
 Mobile
 
  - The full site is now available in landscape on ~5-inch phones
  - The navigation links at the top progressively disappear to
 accommodate smaller and smaller viewports
 
 Visual refresh
 
  - The site handles overlong tables and preformatted content better,
 by using horizontal scrolling when necessary
  - Various minor improvements to the docbook rendering
  - The page now scales to a greater width
  - Avoid awkward column breaks between section headings and content
  - Many other small tweaks
 
 Page load performance
 
I used Google's PageSpeed tool to analyze page performance.
 
  - Defer javascript load until after the page is loaded
  - Defer template image loads
  - Minify output CSS using cssmin (note that this introduces a
 dependency on python-cssmin)
  - Where it does not impact above-the-fold layout, defer CSS loading as well
  - Use cache headers that work for older browsers
  - Apply response compression more broadly

Cursory check on ipad looks good.

On the Contributors page, in thanks section, it would be good to mention 
Coverity for allowing us use of Coverity Scan to do static analysis.
