I agree. The demos were the big thing to come out of the Berlin
hackfest, and we want to showcase them prominently. I think the
carousal display of screenshots was Andreas's idea.

Right, I don't disagree. Of course, we can only deal with the
content we have. One big reason I want to have parts of the
site served with something like WP is so that we can easily
change which things we want to highlight, and how we want to
link to them.
