I wonder if we have any usage stats?  When they were updated, were they used
at all?  Judging by the fact that it wasn't kept up to date (no offense,
Jon), I would assume that it wasn't used much.

I have a strong "the simpler, the better" mentality.


I agree.  Why complicate matters, especially if one is only here for
registration and IRC info?

I think it would be nice to replace the Links page with a list of

This wouldn't be bad either...How long do we have before the overhaul?
Perhaps we add it as a (possible) agenda item to the next coffee hour/PCC
meeting?
