Here's what I think:
 I agree with you about the fedoraproject.org page needing to be more
useful.

  Put together a prototype for the front page. I think doing it all
exclusively in the wiki will result in a fairly ugly webpage but I'm
open to give it a try.

Set yourself up a wiki account, I'll give you privs to change a page and
you make a 'newfrontpage' page and we'll work from there to see if it
works.

It's a good place to start and if it all looks well I'll do the leg work
to turn it into  the main page.

sound cool?
