I like the new wiki subdomain which is much more handy than the 
HaskellWiki subdirectory. How can I add events to the table in the future? 
Unfortunately, in my browser the Twitter headlines on the left overlap 
with the Events on the right:

I would prefer if the links in the Haskell News go to 
haskell.org/pipermail (or mail.haskell.org) and not to googlegroups. The 
latter one requires JavaScript.

I would also prefer if the "click to expand" links on the front page were 
links to separate articles. We preach stateless programming to the rest of 
the programming world and then the homepage content should be preferably 
stateless as well, shouldn't it? Practically I want to send people URLs 
and not explain them a sequence of clicks to tell them what text I am 
talking about.
