It's interesting to compare http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/ with
http://www.aaronshi.com/gentoo/mainindex.html.  One of the things that I
always liked about the original design was the fact that the front page
held a considerable amount of information without needing much vertical
scrolling.  On the other hand, I like the fact that the current
iteration says something about what Gentoo actually is, which just seems
like a good idea on the front page.  (Although I'd prefer to modify the
text a bit so that it starts with "Gentoo is" and is limited to just one
or two sentences.)  

In fact, I've been thinking that it might be nice to remove the news
from the front page altogether (we could always have a news.gentoo.org for
people who mainly use the site for news), which would leave plenty of
space for the "Documentation", "Resources", and "Community" panels with
limited scrolling.

As an aside, I would prefer to see something fairly soon, even if it's
more a face lift than a redesign, than wait another year before we
update the site.
