There has been much discussion about the front/ landing page content for the website. Much of this is because there is so many possible angles for content for the landing page to take.
Suggestions thus far:
1) Keep the front page IFC focused. Get IFC 'right', and then replicate across other technologies.
2) The front page should contain an overview of IFC and other technologies in the buildingsmart ecosystem.
The organisation of the content (high level architecture) has not been contested and remains as follows;
BuildingSMART overview
Technology background video
IFC technology overview
Some sample points about IFC technology might include the following abstract from the wikipedia article on Industry Foundation Classes
Danish government has made the use of IFC format(s) compulsory for publicly aided building projects.[2] Also, the Finnish state-owned facility management company Senate Properties demands use of IFC compatible software and BIM in all their projects.[3] Also the Norwegian Government, Health and Defense client organisations require use of IFC BIM in all projects as well as many municipalities, private clients, contractors and designers have integrated IFC BIM in their business.
