Yeah. It is true that we badly need a complete head-to-toe redesign
(and I'm very excited to see some of that being thought about on this
list and in the wiki) but don't let that need stop someone from
redesigning the front page and making it more attractive while we're
waiting for redesigns to be done. If someone can make the front page
suck less today, it should be done, whether or not the rest of the
redesign is done yet...
