While I personally prefer news snippets, and the other dynamic contents 
in right hand side navigation (similar to what we have now on the test 
page), I like what you did very much, too. You make a lot of content 
available directly, without looking too busy (at least IMO), and an 
overview page like this (that will probably fit on one single page) 
makes a lot of sense as a front page as well.
Sure we'll have to make sure it'll look good in a larger browser window 
as well, but that should be possible to achieve.

I would have expected "Download" to be part of the top level 
navigation, and not in the upper right corner, but at least that part 
will get handy when you know the page already.

Just one more question: should the language pop up stay? Do you intend 
to have localized welcome messages while keeping all the other content 
in English?

Bye,
   Axel.
