I definitely think it’s fine for the short term. I don’t want to push premature perfectionism here—this will not make the site worse than it is, and may make it better.
I wouldn’t want it to go up and then forget about it, and have several years of newcomers dropping off because the entry point didn’t grab them. (I’m less concerned about perfecting a page whose purpose is not entry-point.) That said, if I’m ever really unhappy about it, I can always just draft something up myself and then propose it to you guys.

Me neither. I’m currently trying to get through a long-ish backlog of public docs I think are necessary (About/Welcome page, Team page, User Guides [Getting Started, Posting, Commenting etc.], posts about long-term visions, posts explaining why we’re building Open Questions, etc.). Once caught up, I imagine I’ll go back to get more improvements where they’re most valuable.

I would love to receive such submissions.
