As far I'm concerned this fulfils the requirements for the website.  
I'm pleased that most of the items that have been waiting for so long to
be included are finally available on the site:

Link to the mailing list archives.
List guidelines.
Updated list of available CDs.
Tutorials and articles brought from the old Wiki to the main site.

Also, the last change to be made was in response to comments from me.
Namely to ensure the site rendered well on lower resolution screens and
to make a feature from the Firefox browser work by using text links
instead of graphical ones.

I agree!  We now have an up to date fully functioning site where new
material will be added with little delay and requests have been also
been dealt with promptly.

Let us now concentrate on more important issues.
