I agree with a terse presentation, short page means also you cannot link 
everythign from the homepage.

Sorry, if then attention span is too short for one or two clicks... get 
lost on youtube

I disagree with putting everything on the front page, it is not good... 
you give topics and drill down. I don't like the implications of your 
desire...
It doesn't match other designs either.

check gnome, gtk, xfce websites... the homepage is very terse, even more 
than ours, then you click around and explore.
Actually, I don't intend to copy them, since e.g. I find the gnome 
website too much dumbed down.... the xfce a little be to playful.

However, the concept.. menus... is not too dissimilar from ours.

Then point taken, our sites quite lacks certian part compared to 
those.... just proving the point that if you want something, you need to 
nagivate from the homepage.
