 @joyously suggested that the forums home page should have an optimized
 phrase like "Ask A Question About WordPress" (which is a pretty decent
 idea), but it has was not included when design did a mockup for the new
 forums homepage.
 This is highly unfortunate, since the forums are exactly the place where
 people who search Google for this want to land up...  They have little
 interest in documentation - they want to detail their specific
 circumstances.
