If we are talking purely about the homepage then an easier way to create the type of homepage that suits your site requirements would be lovely. Maybe the option to create and index1.php, index2.php, index3.php would be useful.

Depending on what your site is all about, you might want a homepage that is purely informative, or some form of splash page or even as it is now with dynamic blocks of info that give you a quick glance at what's happening in your site right now. It would be nice to have see more the option of all 3 so you may enable at an instant the one that defaults as your actual homepage depending on your current aim.

Zarcon's comment about module dependancy is so true. If you don't require the files module for example then you should be able to say no to installing it but if for some reason you guys can't find a way of doing this, then it would be nice to not have it display in the stats block without using some sort of hack to remove it. More control on what appears in the stat block would be handy.

Houstonlively's point about a mobile template is also very important. As mobile phones become more and more like computers, the more likely the possibility that someone's first interaction with our site might be through a mobile device. Yes there is the app which definitely needs some expansion but to use the app, they first have to know about us.
