Something like that: sure (and the docmentfoundation page already has
fade-in/fade-out)

I played with colorbox on pumbaa to provide
slideshow/expand-that-thumbnail functionality:

The anniversary logo is a single one, the ones are the botton belong
to the same group/can be viewed as slideshow (you can also use your
keyboard arrows to go to previous/next image)

The photoshuffler that is used on the cited documentfoundation page is
added in the same way to
http://pumbaa.ooodev.org:7780/libreoffice/

I post this links to show you that it is doable with silverstripe,

Well - chicken and egg problem. Embedding youtube videos is no
problem, can be done, but you need one of course :-)

I would like some eyecatchers and other images/logos to freshen up the
site myself, but I'm no graphics artist :-/

Yes, please that in mind. The site should still work OK on 800pixel
wide monitors.

Well, if not good, then they'll surely attract someone to criticize
them and hopefully provide constructive feedback :-))
