I think there is sooo much space left on the landing page of qgis.org,  
that a little summary article explaining those things mentioned by Carlos  
would be nice.
Now you land there and you have the choice to dowload QGIS. Well, but what  
is QGIS and its environment, who creates it and how do things paly  
together?

I know, this style of pages is now very modern and pure, but people have  
to search for every bit of information by themselves and gather the bits  
to get the "big picture".

Doing this in a startup tip is not wrong, but thats actually too late  
cause then people already have QGIS installed with all those strange  
things appearing on desktop etc.

So now, when people ask me what all the stuff is good for, I always say "  
Ah, just ignore it", cause it's too tiresome to explain that stuff again  
and again (which the guys will forget a second later anyway)

Just my 2 cents
Bernd
