We can and should style the main LibO wiki page as a landing page that points 
users effectively to all the various sections it contains. First step is to 
list the requirements of this page, then to wireframe it, then to design, then 
to build.

Agreed. There should be a common header above the main site and wiki to 
facilitate navigating between the two. The two should feel much more cohesive 
than they did for OOo's pages.

This can be fixed with a common header above the wiki logo. The same common 
header should be used on the website and the wiki.

The subheader for the wiki or website will make this clear, while maintaining a 
common header above them both.

Let's create a wireframe before building, so we can share with this list and 
get feedback, in order to build the best system we can. I'll try to create an 
example to start from.

Thanks,
