Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. As for new content: aside from the graphic on the homepage, the only significant addition will be an introductory writeup [1]. This doc has commenting enabled, so please add feedback as you see fit. Note that in this version of mockups, the current 'Features' page is rolled up in this introduction. Feedback on whether that makes sense would be helpful, too.
@Max, I was also unsure about the left-hand nav as it's a substantial change from the status quo, however, I believe it provides more guidance on a 'logical' order for a new user to move through the site. Definitely open to other approaches. I think it's feasible to get a staging site ready to share for next week and a PR shortly thereafter. Let's see--I'll share as soon as it's ready. More to come soon.
