I suggest to improve the Xubuntu Home Page (www.xubuntu.org) and make it more comfortable, attractive and colorful. Because I think that nowadays the Xubuntu Home Page looks very simple and archaic.
In particular, I suggest entirely to change the "Take the feature tour" section, it must contain a more detailed description of key features of Xubuntu and it must be presented by clear pictures, but not by those which we have now (not clear pictures). I think that animated elements give the site a peculiar charm, and I think that it would be nice to create an animation in where it would be represented slogans of Xubuntu (free, stable, ...etc.). And also add icons in the other sections of the menu. And of course change the Xubuntu logo and make it similar to new logo of Ubuntu or Kubuntu (talking about the outline).

I agree that Xubuntu page needs some improvement. However, I disagree in "how much improvement" and "which".

Design, IMHO, is about goals and not features. Xubuntu page's goal is not "look cool", is promote the OS and give users info about it.

*Xubuntu is about a lightweight desktop. So, keep the page the cleaner possible - no animated element, small images.

*Wipe off "Latest news" column - "Xubuntu 9.04 Released" isn't news at all, it's about an year and half ago. In its place, put useful links - last stable release, last LTS, "get Xubuntu CD", this kind of thing.

*The three "Get" icons are huge for no reason. Make them smaller - less bandwidth needed [both for server and user] and cleaner design. And their text should be plain text, not part of image, for the same reason.

*Flash is a no-no: proprietary codec + too heavy to be useful. But yes, like is said in Solution #1, change the tour and add more info and cleaner images.
