[ZDP] DISCUSS: Zope Front Door mockup

[Amos Latteier]

Hi,

There's been a fair amount of discussion on the Zope lists about redoing
the opening pages on Zope.org to better communicate what Zope is and
what it can do for you. It's clear that many people have had difficulty
feeling like they knew what Zope was and of what value it might be to
them.

We'd like to learn from you about how to do a better job communicating
about Zope. 

I've prepared a mockup of a new Zope.org front door based on feedback
from the lists.

  http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/FrontDoor/

This mockup includes a number of new pages including a Zope tour and a
new summary of the Zope architecture based on Evan Simpson's post. I'm
eager to get this up on Zope.org, but first I want to make sure that
we're on the right track.

  * Does the new front door explain what Zope is better?
  * Are there important messages we've omitted?
  * Are there better ways to communicate our messages?

Thanks for your help and input!

-Amos

P.S. The mockup does not address it, but I also think that the "Zope
Exits" and "Related links" could use a little work. Any suggestions?
