Hi all: I'd like to propose some changes to the mapserver.org homepage. Wondering how feasible they'll be via Sphinx:

  - Breadcrumb. Really should start at "Home" and then go from there, e.g.:

    Home >> Documentation >> MapScript  or
    Home >> FAQ
    Home >> Develelopment >> RFCs

  - TOC on the homepage shouldn't be announcements but rather something like:

  Community
    Mailing Lists
    IRC
    Wiki
  Development  
  Documentation
    Introduction
    FAQ
    Mapfiles
    MapScript
  Downloads
  Issue Tracker

  - Announcements could continue below the fold on the main part of the homepage

It's not user friendly as is. The shorter, more meaningful TOC would also help to pull the OSGEO and FOSS4G icons up the page. Thoughts?

Steve
