I think this is pretty good..  I think most of these are just (or
should be) links off into the Wiki.  Here's a question: can someone
help convert the wiki to using the same (or look-alike) CSS so it has
a similar look-and-feel as the main website?

Obviously I think this should remain on the website (although
we might just want to move the NEWS section to the wiki).

These obviously need to stay as is.  We still have limited access
to the "master" download site.

Maybe a link to the wiki, or I suppose we could keep the existing
content, even if it sort of duplicates the mailman listinfo.

I'm not sure whether this should be its own page, a link to the wiki,
or a direct link to the SF donations page.
