Thanks for the feedback. I suspect going online will
be the best motivation for contributors to add info :-)

That will be unavoidable. But at least the old info
will still be available :-) (unlike those idiots did
with APP recently.) With the new site, the links will
in fact be more logical and stable.

I suspect most links are to the top-level, so that
will not be an issue. The others, yes, will have to
be adapted. But that is common place, the current
myhdl.org has its portion of dead links
also (a site makeover is a good time to review.)

I think you're right. I will not add a blog right now,
we can do that later if need be.
I have added a release and a general news feed, that
should be enough for now.

I have done these migrations in the mean time, just review
and enhance.
