tarsnap website redesign



Hi all,

I've decided that it's time for tarsnap to have a slightly less minimalist website -- I don't want to have anything fancy, but I think it will be useful
to bring together some information which is currently scattered around between
my blog, the existing beta.tarsnap.com website, various emails and forum posts
I've written, and my brain.

Since the point of the website is to help tarsnap users (and potential tarsnap
users), I'd like to throw this out as a question to the list: What do you think
should be on the tarsnap website?  Currently I'm looking at the following rough
layout (ASCII art follows):

Front page (describing what tarsnap is)
| |
| Paranoia
| |
| Flexibility
| |
| Efficiency
| |
| Utility
| |
| Tarsnap news
|
Download
| |
| Download old versions
|
Documentation
| |
| Getting started (?)
| |
| Man pages
| | |
| | tarsnap(1)
| | |
| | tarsnap-keygen(1)
| | |
| | tarsnap-keymgmt(1)
| | |
| | tarsnap.conf(5)
| |
| Technical docs (?)
| |
| Mailing lists
|
Accounts (log in | create new account)
  |
  View recent account activity
  |
  View recent account activity for an individual machine
  |
  Add funds to your account
  |
  Change password
  |
  Log out

Navigation of the tree would be via a menu on the left with "uncle" links but
not "grandchildren" or "cousin" links.

Does this make sense?  Is there anything missing?  In particular I'm not sure
about the documentation section.

Thanks,
