In principle I think it=E2=80=99s a good idea. In practice I=E2=80=99m not= sure what this would look like, though. For instance, does that mean /distro would be a =E2=80=9Csecond home page= =E2=80=9D, with screenshots, contacts, blog entries, baseline, and all? Or would it be different? What would be remove from or add to the actual home page? Thoughts? Ludo=E2=80=99.
