The descriptive text matter occurs in two chunks in the redesigned home page:
Once under "Come for the software" etc and then again immediately below "Why Choose Drupal?"
- Purpose-wise these are repetitive and together too long.
- Subjectively seen, they are very boring
- Objectively seen they are not helpful like the current drupal.org intro text which has all the essential links
- Readability wise and visually they fail to drive the points pithily - see for comparison the various main drupal sites http://acquia.com/>acquia drupal gardens
- They are crammed, not at all appealing or makes viewing or reading a pleasure - see for comparison the various main drupal sites http://acquia.com/>acquia drupal gardens
- Since the drupal sites in the above links follow almost the same broad pattern and builds up a "self-concept" or "image" of drupal, this image is broken and out of line with the Drupal chain of Drupal sites.
- When one makes the font as large as current drupal.org or as large as other main competiting cmses the contents of the first chunk of text gets hidden under the tabs.

lisarex commentedThanks for the feedback.
This is sort of already covered in #895528: Consider updating home page intro text and #895634: The word "Website" doesn't appear on the home page... feel free to throw down your suggestions in there. We are working on both.
