Just a small comment: Based on my experience, I don't believe in entry 
pages. I believe in search engines. If I'm looking for a way to do 
something, then 95 % of the time I use a search engine (probably 
restricted to a certain website). Only 5 % of the time I go directly to 
the subpage which I think might describe what I'm looking for.

YMMV
