Or we just remove the frontpage completely? ;-)

IMHO this would significantly reduce the value of the information
there. If anything should be removed, it's IMHO the shortcuts and
"support us" sections. Second to that is training. All the others are
IMHO much more important than the usergroup listings (which doesn't say
that the usergroup listings aren't important, of course).

I'm sure a lot could be done to reduce the clutter-factor though, but I
think most of that can be solved by applying a better layout for
things. (No, I'm not volunteering to do that, because I suck at that
kind of work :-P)
