I will add it on the front page. Pasky, the homepage seems a bit pointless. Each individual page is so small that splitting it up into six different pages is just counter-productive. I'd almost suggest making it _one_ page, perhaps with some shortcuts within it (ie a "http://git.or.cz/index.html#tools" shortcut within the page instead of having a separate "http://git.or.cz/tools.html" page) Hmm? In contrast, the wiki frontpage actually works pretty well - it's got more of that kind of "multiple sub-headers all on the same page" kind of layout, with just extra _details_ behind the links. I don't know about everybody else, but I get irritated at webpages that force me to just switch to another page to get any information. It's like how some web journalists split up a story over 20 pages, and each page is just a few paragraphs and some graphic (and the commercials, of course). I'd much rather _scroll_ a bit, or use ^F to _search_, than have to click through links. Linus
