I like the idea, the concept is clean and simple.
The only problem I have with it is that there are too many things to choose 
from. 10 seems a bit accessive.

I'd remove 'code'. The prerequisite is that people can compile it, which is 
pretty hard and people look elsewhere for that.
Translate should not be here, I think we would just confuse a lot of people by 
having it there, translation is done by KDE translators.
Donate is not something i think we should ask for on the website. If people 
want it we should have a simple link to the kde donations page, but it 
certainly should be a second-level item (as opposed to top-level).

The 'Inform' and 'Contribute' as well as 'Appreciate' probably should be 
grouped and delegated to a forum like site. Which I think should be developed 
independently (as it will take a lot of resources to do so).
The big problem with a forum or kde-looks like site is that it takes various 
people moderating stuff and writing new content on a regular basis. I managed 
several of such sites and its not trivial. So to ensure that at least our 
main site will be great, we should only start such a thing when we actually 
appear to have enough manpower.

Anyway, just sharing some thoughts, keep up the inertia !! :)
