Well, I *could*, but...
(a) I'm no designer, and wouldn't want this discussion simply to become ayes or nays to *my* version.
(b) I think (judging from other responses) the idea is straight-forward enough to be graspable.
(c) It's not my call wrt content - again, a prototype design could just provoke "Why is X in there?" or "Why not Y?"
(d) The discussion is about the *principle* of a 'welcome' section - good idea or not? The nitty-gritties of where and what are reserved for higher powers than I :) (Hence the deliberately wishy-washy "slipping in somewhere").

Cheers
Ben.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
