That's very important, yes - thanks for pointing that out. I was
actually thinking of something a /little/ in the style of Drupal
<http://drupal.org/>, so you have direct access at the top of the page
to all the significant sections of the site, plus a very simple
overview with links to the most useful things for first-time users
(feature list, fuller description, quick start guide... some
screenshots of basic Omega themes would be nice, but would require
more time :-).

I certainly wouldn't want anything directly accessible from the front
page to disappear, or for any item on the menu to go away.

(While I'd love to get stuck into this myself, including a theme
design for the site as a whole, there's no way I'm going to find time
in at least the next six months, more likely the next
eighteen. Accordingly I don't want to suggest streams of
hard-to-implement ideas in case I frighten away someone with more time
:-)
