I think we should also pay some attention to the art work, and add a 
page where there are either pictures of existing applications being 
showcased (like a slideshow with a small piece of text). This way the 
users can instantly see how many programs are actually developed in 
wxWidgets. Thge overhead is small, a picture and some text is all that 
is needed, and people wanting to showcase their work can submit a 
picture and text for the next demo to compile. If the pics can fade in 
and out from eachother it is a nice demo of what wxWidgets can also do.

I think a slideshow whould be neat ... with free links ofcourse to the 
sites themselves.

Ofcourse one page with the most relevant links on them like the main 
site, forum, newsgroups links etc also does wonders.
