Actually, our FAQ-O-Matic did explode, but in another sense ;) It's been
removed.

On the other hand, maybe it's not so smart to integrate everything on our
machines, because our machines and the bandwidth they are using are already
under plenty of strain, and it's all a donation. Besides, if we can use
several donations more efficiently, why not? :) The "official" branding
doesn't really matter for an online forum where everyone can post anything
they want.
The recent (and not so recent) development of Debian community and
decentralization of the content is not at all a bad thing, IMHO. In a way,
it clearly shows that it's not necessary for Debian supporters to stick
together like some weird sect.
I do feel it's important to keep the links between the sites, and I think
we have a fair number of links to external Debian-related sites, and that we
can improve on that...

That's kt.zork.net now, actually. And what about their other summaries,
other than Debian and Debian-Hurd?
