+ Revamping the web site (issue #3000)
+ ====================================
+
+First: anyone should feel free to hack on this branch at any time, no
+need to ask first. Whoever you are, you're not likely to mess up some
+grand plan or be a worse web designer than I am.
+
+The plan is to vastly simplify the front page, focusing on today's
+visitors' likely priorities. Our web site was originally designed to
+attract developers -- but that was long ago, and now most visitors are
+users. Much of the current front-page content will be relegated to
+deeper pages. Finding the common downloads needs to be *much* easier.
+
+Once the front page sets the right tone, we can dig deeper and improve
+inner pages along the same lines.
+
+The front page will still start out with the logo, and beneath that
+will be five main boxes. Each box will have just the most important
+information for its topic, and then link out to the more detailed
+stuff that most users don't care about. The boxes will be list-style,
+not paragraph-style, except for the first one (which gives a brief
+summary of what Subversion is).
