As long as the information is present, readable and searchable, that's all it 
needs (but it should include the keyword EPICS somewhere and link to the main 
website as that helps the search engines classify it).

No problem, I'm just trying to make life easier for newcomers.

I would suggest trying to follow up on Kay's suggestion of installing a Wiki 
on SF, which would make it easy for any contributor to make changes to the 
content without having to understand SF very much.  However I have no 
experience with configuring SF, could someone else in the community provide 
any help with that?

Thanks,

- Andrew
