Sure!  I'll take a stab at some layout options and post it back here.  I'll try to get something up here by the end of day Friday.

> Central Page requires new capabilities :
> - needs more customization (display content depending on user preferences)
> - needs to scale with JBDS-IS, Fuse content
> - access to more examples, with filtering capabilities
> Given that the existing page is pretty hard to maintain and suffers from scalability/UI bugs, we're heading towards an HTML5 approach : 
> - use an embedded SWT Browser widget (or Java FX), depending on the platform compatibility
> - webpage and its content could be served remotely (as zip), and downloaded locally for offline use. this would give us more flexibility to update the content.
