I think there is an advantage to having only the screenshots on this 
page. The more text, the fewer images that should be displayed. And 
there's something powerful about having one page on Drupal that is 
purely visual.

However, the screenshots could link to the corresponding image node 
where that information is displayed, and indeed, even more information 
about the site since each image is displayed on a page by itself.
