I've updated the main page of WTP site to be a little friendlier.
Updates include:
1. A link to the current WTP download and the milestone plan.
2. A What's New section.
3. A Help? section.
4. Simpler layout.
The menu has also been updated and should help with quick browsing. Thanks
go out to Ella Belisario for the updated menu.
Please post comments/suggestions/critiques to the newsgroup and enjoy!

Yes, sorry, I like Opera too, but we may not support it well for a little while.
We're (trying) to move website to be XML/XSL structured (for better long term flexibility
and style), but short term we need to rely
on client side transformation. We verified Firefox supports this and are aware
Opera doesn't (and may never). *Eventually* we want to beef up the server to do the
transforms server-side, but may be a while to get that working well.
(Of course, as usual, the more Opera fans we have opening/voting on a defect, the higher the
priority will be :)

I'm not an Opera user, but that's completely absurd. Most of your users
will be web application developers, and most likely will have Opera
installed on their computers, even if they don't use it as their default
browser.
And what's worse, you're taking out a browser out of the playing field and
adds *nothing* valuable to the end user: everything is still as ugly as
ever -- you're taking out a potential user for silly, internal technical
reasons. Please, don't do this. Keep your pages as well-formed XHTML 1.0 +
CSS without fancy client side transformations, and they will be viewable
from every browser on earth (even IE, for god sake).
