You know, links like "Products, Solutions, Partners" rather than "Bugs, Download, Community." A counter example might be "Linux.com". Big headline today: "GNOME Photo Printer: A nifty little app" To me, it screams, "Geek site." I think the point is to create something that people who don't necessarily like nifty apps and neat features would be persuaded by. That's just my take on it. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes -- I think FreeBSD.com is a great idea. -- ________________ harrison@tbc.net
