Have I said before how much I dislike the distro model
and how much difficulty it causes us? ... oh yeah,
nearly every day ;)

Anyway, yes, point taken.

Can we simply use a part of the w.g.o site already

If not, would this home page be something a visitor to
w.g.o can access? ie, is it something we must add to
the structure, or does it remain separate? And what's
a good stable URL?
