You are right. It is good to have the same structure. Regarding the look
and feel, Open Shift is not using what was proposed by the RCUE initiative.
There's just three things users need to know from the front page:
* That there is an Online Cloud SaaS Login Service
* That you can download and install this yourself if you want
* That there is an open source community around it
If you don't like Openshift's page and want something more in line with
RCUE, I leave it up to you. But, my own personal preferences is as
little as possible on the front page. Direct to the point, and not a
lot of detail.

Got it.

Much better slogan than mine :)

Do people understand the concept of realm?
Probably not. Good point.

your apps..."

Since it is enterprise, it would not be [REQUEST EVALUATION] instead of
[Download Now]?
Sorry, [Learn more] and [Download Now] would be under the enterprise
block. Does that make more sense?
Maybe we could emphasize the support and some advantages of the
enterprise version in the text too.
Nah, they can learn about that when they click [Learn more]

I put [JOIN THE COMMUNITY] as call to action.
The texts are cool, but they must have more or less the same number of
characters to fit the same number of lines. We probably need to resume
the text about "Online".
Yeah, we'll ahve to come up with the appropriate marketing bullshit that
sounds good. :)
How about the Learn more pages? Maybe we could elaborate appropriate
content for the another milestone, not this one?
Ya, we can leave the learn more pages blank for now.
