Re: Potential improvements to the homepage?

[Paul]

I think the contents of the home page could use some changes as much or 
more than style.  Simple things could go a long way, like moving the 
examples (http://lilypond.org/examples.html) to the home page. Those 
images show  LilyPond's (arguably) best aspect, its high quality 
engraving.  They clearly convey what LilyPond is about and helps the 
site be more immediately interesting and appealing to musicians.  That 
is what I'd want new visitors to see first.

The long list of news could be moved to its own dedicated page, or 
minimized to a list of headlines on the home page that link to the full 
entries, etc.  The news doesn't change enough to be so prominent, and is 
of more interest to existing users rather than new visitors, and I'd say 
the home page should focus on new visitors.

All IMHO of course,
