No, I don't think so.

Maybe it's useful to remember that the products.html page was in the
'About' section: The navigation of the product pages needs some serious
thought unless we want to go deeper than a 3 level navigation or make
'Products' a top-level item.

Theoretically, there could be other ways, too: For example, a feature
section that changes content every day? I admit this is similar to
the gnomefiles 'App-of-the-week' box but I like it.

This may be possible even if the backend remains basically static; it
would be sufficient if pages are re-generated every day, using a PHP or
Python generator code (web coders are more familiar with templates
than makefiles, in general, so this shouldn't be a major problem --
and smarty has full language support IIRC)

Additionally, after reading Jeff's suggestion, again, and Joachim's
navigation draft, we may need to remember that we probably have a top
link for third-party developers and potential contribution coders. It's
probably more appropriate to feature technical details about the 
developement platform (and maybe the embedded stuff) there -- instead
of using the 'About GNOME' section which is probably more orienteded
towards users and the general public.

If anybody wants to write something like the above (more text, less
images, maybe), consider to sent it to the GNOME Journal! :-)
