[TYPO3-typo3org] Consolidate - don't divide => a solution

[Erik Svendsen]

Hello JoH,

+ 1

Or even better, the main column should be short moduls of text giving "newbies" 
and other short explanation about typo3.org, wiki, news, support and so on 
(with links). For me as a user for some years, the startpage hasn't any big 
value. I get all the news via RSS, and my bookmarks are direct to extensions 
and documentation.

I think http://plone.org/ (Plone) has an interesting approach on the frontpage. 
We shouldn't copy, but maybe some ideas. 

WBR,
