Many thanks Charles. Putting the new block on the RHS looks good.

I can live with the changes as they are, but my gut feeling is that you 
have rather weakened the welcome I thought was really important.

If you are open to further input, could I suggest the following:
- make the page into two distinct columns, with Feedback on the left and 
Welcome on the right.
- remove the Have a Question? Found a Bug? heading, which seems a bit 
redundant.
- the ? Ask a question heading and the rest of the LH column would thus 
be directly below the Feedback heading
- as a heading for the RH column, reinstate 'Welcome to the LibreOffice 
Community' as the heading, which was my key message
- the "LibreOffice community includes..." text below that, all in the RH 
column
- block 'Users also have responsibilities!' as it stands below that
- it seems to me that even without the changes suggested above, the next 
heading 'LibreOffice is a community...' conflicts with the statement 
above 'The LibreOffice community includes all users...' so I would like 
to suggest a modification from both sources to make this heading 'Want 
to be more involved? Join us!'
- below that, the text is all fine

If you want me to whiteboard the above, I will, but the suggestions may 
be sufficiently clear without the need for that. As stated above, I 
could live with the page as it is, but reluctantly because it is 
definitely not as welcoming as the initial suggestion, and IMHO it will 
make a difference to how welcome users feel and in a small but 
worthwhile way the extra changes would encourage more active involvement.
