Good work Jasper. But still one question remain: how can we edit this wiki :-) ? 
Also, I think it would be nice  to have a menu on the left to access to the content, and keep the middle of the page to have something like news on the site. 
My idea is too get people who doesn't take time to look at the mailing lists aware of what's new in the Xfce world. (because if you look only the main site, you would think nothing change since the 4.2.2 release...)

Just a thought,
