I wanted to make that part something beyond the "comparison" thing, thus
the "Tips & Tricks" etc parts. I think it's good to have some general "how
do I write games for Linux" section, and the SDK comparison should be just
a part of that. IMHO.

Well, if we get enough attention after the announcement (and I really hope
this is the case!) we'll get enough feedback to support a FAQ. So it's IMHO
better to already plan for it..

e.g. having your Clanlib Pacman in versions for ClanLib, PenguinPlay,
GAMES, SDL etc so that developers can see the SDK differences in real,
working code.

Perhaps. I mainly placed this extra because of the three "main sections" of
the homepage - (1) Infos for developers ("Tools", "Comparison",
"Examples"), (2) Cooperation between SDKs ("Projects", "Compatibility") and
(3) other stuff ("Discussion", "Related sites")

But I'm not very sure abou this...

Sounds good.
