Personally I don't think that follows. Having a good search is a big
plus, but that's a separate feature to having a good front page. Many
users will go straight to the search and won't look at the front page,
many users will avoid the search and use the front page to browse.

I actually think that having a fairly complete front page something like
the wiki front page (adapted to our purposes) will work well.

I've added this as index-mpt.xml so that we can continue brainstorming.
