I wanted to move the quick start to the download page, and the friends page to another, possibly an Apache page or download, contribute or support.

Maybe contribute should be renamed to community?

Good idea. I agree to rename it to community

I don't want more links than the current 6. When you look at the site with a small device or small-ish screen there is not enough room. The front page currently has the menu centred and room to spare, but the sub pages have the logo on the left and the menu on the right, limiting the amount of horizontal space available (in exchange for more vertical content room)

I see the point. But IMHO it would be good to keep a link to "quickstart" because we use to refer to it quite often in the user mailing list and so it would be nice to keep a direct link to it.

How about the carousel? I saw you created a buildwithwicket page that (I guess) should contain the carousel. Are you planning to use some external library to implement the carousel?

> Our current site design has been with us for quite a while. It looked fresh in the 1980s, but now it has gone stale.
> This is a proposal for a new, fresh design of the home page and sub pages.
> The home page will feature a prominent download link, a list of feature descriptions, screenshots of sites powered by Wicket, official blog items and Buzz by our users.
> The screenshots of wicket powered websites will link to short descriptions of the sites under /meet/poweredby. Links to the websites will of course have nofollow
> Other pages will feature a menu on the right side of the page providing direct links to content. 
> Attached are a couple of screen shots of how the site might look like.
> Screen 005 is an alternative of the home page without the list of features, but including the introduction to wicket article.
