[General] "4 static pages": What about screenshots?

[Katie Capps Parlante]

My argument is that there is value in having a "just the screenshots" 
link directly from the landing page. Something like this:
http://colloquy.info/screenshots.html

Some folks will look at that kind of thing first before deciding to 
invest in reading anything.

Perhaps "whirlwind at the top" will cover it though, if people have 
access to visuals right away without diving into reading.

Cheers,
Katie
