I like it, except for those pictures in the right, they are a little too in your face. I do think we should have a screenshot on the homepage, but I think it should be something a little more subtle than that (and by that I mean smaller sized, like the way we currently have it but not emphasizing the horizontal menus). I think the bulk of the screenshots should be included in the Applications page.
I took a quick look at the different GUI toolkit websites (GTK+, QT, FLTK, Fox and wxWidgets) and the consensus seems to be as little in-your-face as possible, by providing nothing but the most needed info on the homepage. For reference's sake, here are the their websites:
www.gtk.orgwww.trolltech.com/products/qtwww.fltk.org
www.fox-toolkit.orgwww.wxwidgets.orgWith that in mind, the GTK+ homepage does have something I think we should add to the home page, a brief description of how to contribute. Seeing as the project is in need of more developers, I think we should make it blatantly obvious what you can do to help.
