If there are useful links that are hidden such that people have to use
"Ctrl-f <term>" to search for them, then I think we've failed at design
already.

I'm inclined to do some work on the top level index page to make these
things be prominent links you can see without scrolling or searching
when hitting the http://qemu.org/ front page.

IMHO the front page has way too much real estate taken up with the
screenshots and big headings, and very little useful content right
now. On my laptop 50% of the vertical space is the top header nav
bar, the huge "QEMU" heading and then the subheading. The other
50% of vertical space is the screenshots. The most interesting
content on the front page is the summary of latest releases, but
that's off screen. I'll have a play with tweaking the layout to
improve this.

Daniel
