The current home page is not intuitive and the casual visitor is hit with elements that are unexpected. For example, we know what the favorites are, etc., but it is a bit unexplained and aggregating while very valuable is not really the main focus of the website. Personally, I like the community page because it actually has a welcome statement of some kind and is relatively easier to understand by someone new to the website. Another thing is that there should be some quick and easy changes, such adding a link to m.n.c, etc., that could be done within a few weeks to make the home page more inviting, and then more substantial changes later.
