I agree with you that the previous mockups were certainly for a different audience. Personally, I believe the original mockups would be better, while this one more honestly reflects the current state of the project. After 1.0 (or whatever we are calling it when it becomes stable-er and easier to install) the first websites would be much better.

I had noticed this too - I believe the person who made them had built GNOME him(or her)self, outside of the guix package system. As such they would be better suited to the first set of websites, as by the time we release the full version I hope there will be GNOME.

Diagrams are necessary to understand the system, but not to use it. Possibly better to keep them in the docs (assuming the docs will be available on the website).
