One idea is that we simply put parts of our existing website there. Why
duplicate our work ? For example, we coould put the following there:

*	Our bookmarks page http://independence.seul.org/bookmarks.html 
( which could be updated to include whatever we want to include in it...) 
*	Our html-ised software list ( I have already had a request that
the /software section be available for download ... ) 
*	Any documentation that we write. 

* 	here's an interesting idea: a search tool that lets you search
the html-ised rpm descriptions for keywords. Because we've html'ised it
already, we just need to use someone elses search engine.

maybe we need a postgres database to keep track of everyone (-;
