That's probably completely wrong! These two home pages serve different 
purposes. The content should be divergent.

* The web site home page provides our World-wide Web presence. That's 
the place for news and other rapidly changing content, and as an 
introduction for first-time visitors.

* The release home page is the gateway to the release, and needs content 
focused on that role. For the rapidly changing stuff, it should just 
refer to the world-wide web home page.

I've done a first draft of contents for the release home page. If the 
contents are acceptable, we'll ask Daniel and Rene to integrate them 
into the current look-and-feel. Presumably the sidebar links will be 
similar to the current page.

Comments appreciated!
