A grassroots campaign needs a proper GNOME homepage: What other goals
could a campaign pursue that pushing people to our webpage?

But before we start, there's some low-hanging fruit to do, IMHO:
 
 * We could activate the GNOME tour. What's missing here?

 * We could start changing the headers links according to
   http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam_2fWebsiteUpdates
   
   I've written two pages four months ago (support and community, I
   believe) and sent them to Luis but never got an answer. Maybe someone
   with CVS access could just upload them. Not much but a start.

 * Jeff Waugh promised to fix the page that should appear under
   'Download', namely start/ but didn't yet as far as I see.

 * Maybe someone with an idea how the current web page works could fix
   the right-side navigation issue: We need a sub-navigation that
   changes according to the header links. That's not possible right now
   it seems.

With this done, we just need a usual web page ad size graphics. I'm
sure Andreas could do them in a week or less.
