Why are people bothering themselfs with hiding a bit of information? If one isn't a cold-blood developer aware of all the neat knobs of FBSD and where to ask and where to look, a novice or not-so-well-informed guy like me run into frustration. The main page should have a hint present, where to find the newest stuff.
