Yeah, we can show just titles (I just changed it so you could see) or
adjust how much text is displayed.
I like some text displayed because it gives the reader a flavor of what
is there and makes it more enticing.
It sounds like people have more ideas than just what goes first on the
front page. So far, it appears that the comments are not about specific
pages but about focus and content, and the overall needs that are not
being addressed. Maybe the web team should gather opinions from the
squeak community? We are doing that here, but maybe we need to compose
an email and ask more specifically.
