If there are useful links that are hidden such that people have to use "Ctrl-f <term>" to search for them, then I think we've failed at design already. I'm inclined to do some work on the top level index page to make these things be prominent links you can see without scrolling or searching when hitting the http://qemu.org/ front page. IMHO the front page has way too much real estate taken up with the screenshots and big headings, and very little useful content right now. On my laptop 50% of the vertical space is the top header nav bar, the huge "QEMU" heading and then the subheading. The other 50% of vertical space is the screenshots. The most interesting content on the front page is the summary of latest releases, but that's off screen. I'll have a play with tweaking the layout to improve this.

As you said the links are already mostly available from the "contribute" page. "Report a bug" is a bit of an in-the-middle case that is niche enough that it should not be too prominent, but still worth being available in the home page in some way. > IMHO the front page has way too much real estate taken up with the > screenshots and big headings, and very little useful content right > now. Yeah, that's true (that is something that was inherited from template I used, which you can see for reference at https://templated.co/linear). Paolo

The page footer currently has a large wall of links. Many of the links duplicate what is already present in the page header navbar. The header is styled to have a fixed position, it will always be on screen. The footer meanwhile is often off the bottom of the screen. Other links from the footer are already present in the 'contribute' and 'documentation' pages, with more descriptive text. The wiki link would be better placed in the top header where it is more obviously visible to users. With this change the footer is slimmed down to avoid link duplication, leaving it primarily focused on providing links to the related external sites. The wiki link is moved to the header nav which has extra space after the previous patch. Finally the conservancy link pulled out and placed just below the footer adjacent to the licensing link, giving it more prominence. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
