I think the simplification is a good idea.  We have enough dynamic
content in trac, bugzilla, and wiki.  It'd be nice to keep the
centralization of these relatively static.

One thing that might be missing is 'About', but maybe that can be on
the home page.  Also, I think I'd rather see the NEWS history pushed
off onto it's own page -- leaving the home page relatively clean, or
maybe with just the most recent announcements.
