The homepage is unarguably one of the most viewed and important pages on ShoutWiki - it's the first page many people visit at ShoutWiki and a quick glance can make the decision whether someone creates a wiki here.
The homepage has too much text, it's dull, and it doesn't act as a good landing to ShoutWiki.
The homepage needs to be less text based - Hub isn't Wikipedia, it doesn't have lots of encyclopaedic content for people to go and read, it's got help pages and a rather dull wiki directory. It should be a launchpad to other parts of the site, things users want, and not a half complete Wikipedia article on ShoutWiki.
