I for one rather enjoy the attempt at doing something different; unless the site changed since your mail, Sam, I think everything you are asking for is there under the first two headers.

I do agree that there are two main problems:

- a reordering and relabeling of the columns and menu buttons would help a lot, right now they are somewhat abstruse (make vs create) and in a weird order (hacking before spotlighted projetcs). Documentation is definitely not a subset of tutorials.

- giving equal importance to crucial and secondary content. Stuff like tweets, commits, issues and project comments, while nice to have, probably do not deserve taking as much screen space as projects, and probably should not be "in the way" in the sense that you have to scroll over them to get somewhere interesting (it's probably fine if they are at the "end" though)
=> Making the more important columns closer to "real" pages (wider, more clearly delimited, also accessible by name in addition to guessing which header they are supposed to fall under), would probably improve the experience 


Cheers,

Adam

I agree with this. The only things I want from the Pygame website is:

        Recent news on the front page.
        Link to documentation and tutorials.
        Link to suggested libraries and utilities to use with Pygame.
        Link to page where I can browse interesting Pygame projects.
        Link to support locations (mailing list, bug tracker, source
        code etc.)

Only 1 of these requirements is currently met. I have zero interest in
everything else on the website. If I want to read tweets, I'll follow
pygame on Twitter (which I do), if I want to look at Reddit I'll go to
Reddit, if I want to look at StackOverflow I'll go to StackOverflow
etc..
