If you are using Debian for 7 years you will need not much more.  Try
to convince a not-yet Debian user ...

Well, there was done a differentiation between the Homepage URL and
the Alioth project URL.  It's not my fault if the Alioth project page
just sucks. ;-(  (just look at the Debian Med pages to know what I mean)
But you are right - for the moment I configure the webconf/debian-science.conf
file to point to the Wiki page (even if the link says Alioth project page!).
Just commited to SVN - should show up after next cron run ...

Sure.  But the Alioth page is not for users but for developers - so this
is a different pair of shoes.

Kind regards
