Maybe it would be a good idea to add an extended 'What is this' section to this site (homepage?) for completely new visitors who don't directly understand it. Lots of sites have such a 'New visitor? Click here!' message. It could contain, for example:
- The introduction text that's on the homepage's left bar right now
- Some links to important forum topics (
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=74 and
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=110 are must-reads)
- What's New list
- Link to the FAQ
etc.
On a sidenote, I just saw that the site is already 3 weeks old today. Time flies when you're having fun
Cheers
