Suggestions? I like it on the front page for the simple fact that it makes users readily aware of the 'latest' security announcements. But a good argument here would be "We have two lists dedicated to security and a portion of the site dedicated to security. Should it be included on the front page?" While they both seem to me as a matter of preference, I'm open to suggestions as well. Move it somewhere else, just link to the page, or ... ? > > Also I might suggest switching the order of 'software' and 'platform > support', > since 'software' is the more general of the two. Perhaps 'platform support' > should even be a subhead of 'software'? I'm just brainstorming here. These are good ideas indeed.

I like it. A thought I had was to seperate the development projects into two seperate parts.

I'm only worried that we, *I*, might get carried away here. While I'm attempting to seperate the links into more logical groupings and making it easier for first time or occasional visitors to locate information, this could quickly lead to an intimidating front page. But that is what we have the ever impressive 'More?' option. -- Tom Rhodes
