I like the general direction, but I want at least a sentence to go
along with most links to explain why it's interesting. So I was
thinking the home page would have links with explanations to a
variety of second level pages.
But this design makes me think there should be some "most important"
direct links on top. Maybe without much explanation, e.g. the
general Schemepersist mailing list and the GitHub organization
don't need more than "mailing list" and "GitHub organization".

It's clear enough; a paragraph could for example handle our deciding
to widen the remit, but not such that another word should be added
to the 3 things currently explaining it, which are (currently)
"databases, encoding and logging". We should strenuously resist
adding to the words, 3 is enough. In general, to the extent it
makes sense, avoid giving someone more than 3 choices at any point,
but that has to be loosened for a site who's purpose is to host
a bunch of links.
And here's a good way to waste our time: I prefer Oxford commas,
as in "databases, encoding, and logging", a comma before the "and"

It's beautiful! I also like the general green color scheme, a
favorite color.
