I went over the front page collecting the relevant non-duplicated links to
inner pages. They are listed below:

Linux (Link to 'The Linux Home Page at Linux Online http://www.linux.org)
What's New (last entry July 1998)
Why Linux
FAQ
Manifesto
Announcements (last entry July 1998)
Links
Development Homepage
ToDo List

seul-pug             (These 4 appear on the Archieves page. I don't know if
anyone
seul-seg               would find them there. Do we want them on the front
page?)
seul-research
seul-announce

Subscribe (Subscription box for site visitors)

The SysArchs (these 3 link to 'mail to' forms)
Roger
webmaster

edos links to both SEUL and Manifesto
edos describes SEUL as follows:
The goal of SEUL is to help Linux become an OS that the average home/office
user can install  and use productively.

Linux Journal links to SEUL and describes SEUL as follows:
Simple End-User Linux (SEUL), a project to help create a computing environment
for the average person.

I looked through Eric Raymond's site but did not locate the SEUL link.

I may have missed something but here's a list of where we are at.
Any comments before I try to work it into the home page or wherever.
