I did not tested the old links still work, because 1) it was a beta, after all, we did not expect everything to work 2) it seemed obvious that they would still work in the new site (may be after a redirection). Yet, it is probably the biggest problem with the new Web site: many old links no longer work. > If it was volunteer, leave the volunteers alone as you missed your > opportunity to gripe and put the energy into constructive > criticism.

If "it was done by volunteers, work or shup up" is the rule, I will start to submit random patches to the Linux kernel and reply to all criticisms by "I'm a volunteer, shut up".
