Ok, I write to this mailing-list.

Backing to You proposal, I need to tell You about 3 sections:
- Program navigation (Download, Support, extensions, etc., main at the 
moment)
- News about program code (based on changelog summary (not-available))
- News from program world (community, non-development news etc.[exists 
in the right col])

Base questions from potential users:
- Why OOo?
- Why I need new version?
- How I can go to OOo from MS Office (auto-conversion-tool needed),
^ My organisation use MS Office. I try to contribute with other company. 
I can use ODF quick and authomatic?
^ I have small 5 person company. Why I should use OOo? Price? No! This 
receive me money from tax.
etc.

Our main page shold have:
- base native program presentation
- news from developers
- news from program world
- easy navigation (not 10000 projects, but download, screenshots, help, 
etc.)
- mirrors in must popularity hostings,
- builtin libraries for must popularity development languages,
- no borders (We need to create support for ASP, .NET and etc)

What you think about that?
