Make first page of the website friendlier to real new-comers

[jimklimov]

I had a community chat yesterday with a guy who wanted to configure an UPS for their systems, and pointed them to NUT. Happens they did not know of it (last UPS set up with apcupsd 10 years ago, never looked into this area since). A near-instant feedback was that the NUT website (front page) is pretty hard to navigate for the real newcomers - like to understand what the project does at all, how it's layered etc.

I passed them the direct links in the chat, but they were 2-3 clicks away and that's if you know where to click :)

So just FYI - readability and usability is a real-life issue ;)

Maybe a good start would be a top-link to page marked as "Newcomer Intro" or some such, with a mix of overviews from user and devel guides and the feature page (but less white space and huge headers than the latter).
