I really do enjoy the layout on the Processing site (http://processing.org/), since it is very clean and has lots of pictures and a big fat examples section on the front page. If we are trying to market Pd to new users, this is THE most important thing (as previously asserted).
I also enjoy their utilization of subdomains. We could do this with things like http://gem.puredata.org, http://gridflow.puredata.org
, http://pidip.puredata.org, etc.
Also, it would be best if the forum was attached to the main website by at least a prominent link/redirect, if not actually in server space. But we definitely need more pictures: unless you're trying to show off by running lynx, the internet is not a purely textual medium. Besides, the people who actually DO patch Pd without a GUI probably aren't so interested in visiting a more marketing-oriented site anyway. Maybe we could do
http://nogui.puredata.org?
