Yes, and I did not mean to say that we should clone it. :)

If you look at the existing front page, you can see the rounded corner
blue box with a long description of what Haiku is, followed by three
columns (About, Development and Community) each having links to
various content.
I think we can take this whole area above the "Latest News" section
and make it a bit more visually appealing (hence the reference to the
gOS website) and repurpose it to reflect the specific goals of the
upcoming Haiku releases (alpha 1, alpha 2, beta, and so on).

That would be nice. Hopefully we can implement it into Drupal somehow.
