[Lukáš Fryč]

I agree on most of the objections, some are just leftovers, but let me
react on selected issues:

I actually find it useful having it all there - you basically get complete
overview of "What is AeroGear" on the start page:
1. mission: "Bringing mobile and enterprise together."
2. modules (features): Core, Security, Push, Sync
3. cross-platform nature: <Platform List>
4. links to News, Upcoming events, etc (shows project activity)

It's all obvious and not necessary for us, but it is definitely useful for
newcomers.

When you go to the site repeatedly, you don't actually use start page
anymore. The only important information for you is the Navigation.

+1 I don't mind how it is now, but the true is that it is a bit unusual for
a project site

@Andres what you have some ideas here? We can hangout if handy...

There already is this extra tab - News.

That page automatically shows latest Activity from News,
and I kinda like it, inspiration from here:
