Hi Narayanaras,
Firstly could I start by saying that the beta website is not yet ready
for people to start contributing to it, so can we use the existing
infrastructure to discuss and comment on development. This includes
the mailing list and the wiki.
I have moved your comments over to the wiki and deleted them off the
development site as we wish to make it clear that the site hosted at
libreofficeaustralia.org is under HEAVY development and nowhere near
ready for real content or public eyes.

Please find your feedback and my comments here on the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal/Feedback

I have a feeling that you think we are further along the development
path than is actually the case. The theme is not yet developed and
there is no real content on the site, just placeholders for the site
structure. A lot of effort is going into workflows and systems in the
back end of the site to ensure the interactive parts of the site work
including the development and approval process for designs,
documentation, marketing tools, etc.

Please don't take this response as being rude as I have simply tried
to highlight the areas which have already been suggested and are under
development or being tackled by another team.

The items which I think have great merit that have not already been
discussed or are under development are:

Screenshots page
'Official Documentation' or just 'Documentation'
System Requirements page
List of professional consultants
Awards page
Macro writing guide - I will discuss this with the documentation team
Feature comparison

Again, thanks for your interest, and I would suggest the best way to
get involved is to start designing these sections and content inside
the mailing list or wiki.
Thanks,
Michael Wheatland
