Clearly you've put a lot of thought into the content layout and flow.  
On my first glance it looks good.  I agree with the "reduce mouse 
clicks" model you note.  Frankly, I'd like something more inviting, 
organized, spacious and much more attractive. 

Given that there is very little community involvement with the current 
site I'm very curious how much this new .com site would have to do with 
the OpenSolaris community.  Can you clarify on that front a bit?
