    Now, as most of have noticed by this point in time, AWN is organized as this:

        * CVS Stats
        * Project of the Week
        * Bug Update
        * Latest Releases
        * On the Mailing List
        * Special Interest

    I was thinking about some minor re-organization.

        * Discussion
          --Mailing list(s)
          --Some interesting events in IRC
              (more of a maybe since it would require
               logs and I'm not there all the time,
               but it's a thought)
        * In Development
          --CVS commits
          --What's new
            (This would show off what different
             between CVS and current, like
             Martin's tables et cetera. A more
             interesting update than the Latest Releases,
             which could be moved to a seperate page)
        * Bug Update
            (Essentially the same)
        * Abi Advantage
          -- Stolen from (name a distro here) about
             individuals' and companies' use of
             AbiWord
             (I'm sensing mostly individuals until
             the next stable release)
        * Special Interest
          --This remains mostly unused; it would be
            nice to expand on this. I would prefer to
            keep it as is (i.e. a format for programmers
            to discuss important topics to users and
            other developers)

    These are some thoughts and I'd like to hear what you think (inbetween commits, eh?).

    Special note to Jesper and Hub: Graphs are pretty.
