Home Page must haves

Feel free to expand this, I just want to get down my priorities. Based on the stats, feedback at OSCON, and my own usage of python.org. The home page has a few very clear usage scenarios.

• Someone knows nothing about Python, so the home page has to make it clear without a lot of extra navigation
• A new or existing user needs to download Python (most typically the current version)
• Documentation, documentation, documentation !
• Related to documentation is the need to search the current documentation and/or site
• Then there are a whole host of other things to do

Other home pages for consideration

• http://www.perl.org/

• http://www.php.net/

• http://openswf.org/

• http://www.microsoft.com/net/

• http://www.apache.org/

Other tasks

• Getting rid of PSA stuff and moving still-valid info to other parts of the site

• Reorganizing [http://www.python.org/UserGroups.html UserGroups] and [http://www.python.org/doc/NonEnglish.html NonEnglish] -- there's currently a lot of overlap, and what I'd really like to do is move it to a database with multiple views

• Figuring out how to manage the commercial exits and other kinds of links to external resources
• Fixing up the pycon directory (I made a boo-boo when setting it up, and we'll need to move the old stuff before starting in on DC2004)
• Reorganizing Intros and Newbies -- also a lot of overlap.
