+
+The goals of the website are simple:
+ - tell people what Mageia is in a few words (see introduction
+paragraph), then leading those who are interested to learn more to
+second level pages (About, Core values, people of Mageia, etc. etc.)
+ - tell the people what's going on at the moment they are reading the
+page (thats there with "Happening right now")
+ - tell the people how they can join and help - this is already there
+in the lower left, where you could also place the "Contribute" link,
+it belongs into "Join us".
+
+Then there are single main points which users will want to see and
+open with one click:
+ - News
+ - Downloads
+ - Forum
+>From my experience with users these are the 3 most wanted clicks on a
+distribution home page. They do not want to search for any of these.
+That's why they do not belong in second level and should not be hidden
+in text links.
+
+Of course then there is one main point which **we** want the users to
+be able to reach with one click: "Donations". We do not want them to
+have to search for that!
