Hi again

What I had in mind is that there are many ways we can help (and be helped) the visitor. (We regulars know what we want when going to the site.) So, in the general idea of "help and be helped" are documentation, tests, support, and tools-all of which are on the second welcome page.

There are two more things: the list, with its archives and subscribing and our download area. May I suggest that they too go as items on welcome number 2?
