Statistics and the main page

All the above suggestions are supposed to be to do with the development of the new main page; sorry that that wasn't written clearly. I was only referring to the old page to consider the impact of losing the information that is currently on the old main page. I like the layout of the new main page, by the way, but won't have time to write more until the weekend, perhaps.

Feel free to add, and please make changes you like. It's still a draft version, and we're not taking it into production unless we (a) like the English version and (b) make it ready for localisation.
