    A little suggestion: what this home page lacks at this moment is visible information about the latest releases, which IMO is very important for a dynamic open source project. This could be fixed be placing the Blog panel (for which "News" is actually a better name) somewhere higher on the page.

    I don't like it, it's too much like the current site, and the current one is very wrong. There should be clear information about:

    • The latest releases
    • Recent events involving XWiki (Solutions Linux, XWikiSchool, JUG presentations...)
    • Features? As a potential new user, where can I see what XWiki does? "Learn more..." at the end of a short list is not visible enough.
    • "Projects" in the top bar, is that really needed? We're going to reduce the number of projects, so only things that are better labeled as "Tools" would remain.
    • We need a short movie to present it. Maybe two, if we split the user and developer presentations.
    • We need a link to release notes.

      I hope you don't want that movie ON the home page... emoticon_smile

        No, but quickly and visibly accessible from the homepage.

      Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I've added/modified the following:

      • "Latest Releases" panel with a link to the release notes under it
      • "News" (which will also include past events) and "Upcoming Events" sections at the bottom of the page
      • 2 columns to accommodate more information about XE
      • Moved the link to the screenshot gallery from the panel in the second XE column
      • A link to an explanatory video
