-	As Peter said, sections of the front page are editable. For those who are lost and confused, you need to go to [[RISC OS/News]], [[RISC OS/Projects]] and [[RISC OS/Articles]] to edit the three sections. I've added the sections mentioned above.	+

-	It would help if we knew precisely what kind of information would be expected on a front page. Currently, there's:	+
-	# Site info	+
-	# News	+
-	# Projects	+
-	# Articles	+

-	I'd suggest splitting Projects and Articles into more subsections, as Projects specifically is huge, and will only increase.	+

-	Is it possible to change the sub-page titles? I've suggested (on the articles sub-page) that the "RISC OS C Programming" page be renamed to just "RISC OS Programming".	+

I am thinking of adding a section to cover the various Distributions of RISC OS.

Since some distributions (free or paid for) include many useful third-party applications, I am also thinking of cataloguing their apps here. My article in Archive magazine 25:03 refers to this page from which you can download my summary tables of distros ePic/NutPi and RODirect. These tables will shortly be superseded by ones which include the Cloverleaf distro.
I will seek permission from the publishers of those distros and from Archive to repeat this here. Please reply with your reactions and advice. Thank you.
