I think it becomes difficult to talk about the content or structure of a
page once you see a PNG mockup. People started debating the position of
the menu, the colors, and personal taste. That doesn't look very
bottom-up to me :)
Maybe I'd rather start writing a good old blueprint instead, and talk in
more abstract terms:
- What are the problems with the current homepage?
- What do we want to achieve with this new homepage?
In a bit more concrete terms, we are already considering changes in the
content:
- Mentioning Tor, Debian, and free software
- Your mockup remove the Security part
- People suggested adding the FAQ to the menu
- Your mockup added bits of the Contribute page
- Tchou suggested mention the persistence, or that Tails is a way to
carry around your documents encrypted.
