Hmm, contrary to other comments, when first looking at site my thoughts were "Wow, looks cool. Looks like something modern and active rather than archaic."

The first thing I want, "about/wtf is erlang", is right there on the home page without even having to go to some about page. [Too many modern projects have no intro/assume everyone knows about it]

Two second things I want the most are big and prominent, Documentation and Download

The third thing I want, News, has it's own section.

Everything I want, on the homepage. No clicks, no menus. I think that rocks.
