I think there is a lot of redundant links (as in, links that doesn't
really make it simpler for users to find information) on the front page.

A few weeks ago I looked shortly at trimming the front page, but I
haven't really gotten around to looking more closely into it.

I attached a small patch containing what I did then, you can use it, or
not.

Sure, but -www is probably a better place for discussing it more in
depth.
