Based on some feedback from Lloyd I’ve tweaked the homepage intro again, particularly the last sentence.

I’m curious on some other people’s thoughts on the homepage — I think of our audience coming to the homepage as:

  1. people who have no idea what WP is
  2. people who know what WP is and want one
  3. users of WP who need help
  4. users of WP who want a new theme or plugins
  5. contributors to: support, docs, themes, plugins, coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.

Whew. What should be there for each of those people? How do we move folks from one level to another?

My second question would be: what should a download (really a getting started) page look like in the age of one-click installers? Do you know how many people (including my Mom) have an unpacked ZIP of WordPress on their desktop and say the thing is too hard?
