It looks elegant, yes. I like the cheetah, too.
New visitors won't be overwhelmed by information ... well ...

Sorry but I don't understand the fashion to put Latest News and Forum Postings 
into the main page. I know many pages do that. They occupy about a half of 
your page but usually carry no relevant information to a casual visitor. 

Those who want to follow the news and forum postings can find them behind a 
link and make a bookmark and then read them daily if they want.

Most of the links in Bee Jay's page are useful and thus it serves better the 
visitors.
A good compromise would be if you remove news and forum posts from main page, 
add some important links that Bee Jay's page has and then add the Quick Start 
section I suggested earlier. It could even be a screen-cast of making a "Hello 
World" app right on the front page. It would not add textual context and would 
increase the page's "cool-factor". And it sure would help more than a random 
piece of news.
