Dear diary, on Sat, Jun 24, 2006 at 10:52:04PM CEST, I got a letter
where Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxx> said that...

Wow, finally some more feedback on the homepage!

Good point. When designing the multi-page layout I expected much more
stuff to end up on the homepage but it sort of didn't happen and now the
Wiki seems to work pretty well, so I have folded it all back to a single
page. I ain't no webdesign-ka but it could've turned out worse; as
usual, I'm taking patches.

The menubar should be now actually useful for quick navigation between
various Git-related resources (going to Git's gitweb using this path
should be much faster than over kernel.org, especially when gitweb.cgi
has its bad days over there).

We could put up some commercials as well and use them for funding pizza
distributed in a round-robin fashion between the developers.
