As much as I did the no scrolling thing on alternative, it's just too
much text all in one space. There isn't enough white space separating
each group of content. It all kind of blurs together at first glance.
I think for someone new to plone this version might be intimidating.
But I personally would probably find it more helpful.

My vote goes for clumped. Even though you have to scroll, the sections
are clearly defined and it looks very clean. the jump links at the top
will make it easier to go to the exact section you need.

Either way, get rid of the books portlet and just make it a link at the top.

And to think...we only just started this a few weeks ago...
