Sure, a press release is not a home page.

But, a home page should provide most of the information a passer-by needs.
Read "Don't make me tour your website to find out what it is about" or
"Don't make me explore your website to find out the answers to my three
simpleand super-common questions". BTW, on a website like EuroPython,
graphics, even attractive ones, are useless unless they provide
information (except for the logo maybe).

Let's turn a summary of the press release into our homepage then :-)
