I wouldn't make awards page too obvious but i do agree it needs to be a
bit better than hidden away under misc. So more obvious than misc but
less that front page (no +1 FP for you) is my vote.

That is a problem, but a bigger problem is IE has really awful error
pages.
BTW, I just looked at the webalizer stats:
1) We're runnnig 1.30, goign to 2 which is much better breaks the stats
because the programmer didn't think to migrate the history
2) Common log file really misses a lot of stuff
3) We don't have pre-processing of the logs to do resolving, shame
really. webalizer 2 does this much better too.
4) Somone go and tell webalizer to hide *.png and *.ico URLs
5) I think 1.3 has it, change the time to UTC, silly American times
don't make sense to me. UTC makes sense except to Americans.
6) Shameless plug - woo hoo, my giant vendors page is #1 (in kb)
and generates 5% of the web traffic. Definitely time to split
it up, but I'll wait for the re-org
7) There is less access on sat and sun, so Debian users all bludge
their time off work or at uni surfing the web instead of working
and studying :)
8) The first 4 sites are Italian. A lot of NMs (New Maintainers)
I have processed have been Italian... hmmm That might mean that
Italians use very big caches too. and 3% is not much anyway.
I saw something about supporting Debian in another email. I think the
general idea is good but change it to another work. Some people may get
confused about who is supporting what.
