I assume that people's comments were about all the port pages in general
and not the mac68k page specifically, right? ;-)

there is 1 advantage to not having the news auto-generated, and that is
that we are currently keeping the more relevant news items rather than
having them all scroll off. with the mac68k port, we get a new -current
snapshot every week or so. these items will quickly overwhelm other
perhaps more interesting items like the latest full release or new device
support. perhaps we need a "latest snapshot" permanent news item or
something like that?

on the whole, i like it. the directory portion does look vaguely
unbalanced as there are headings for everything except for the FAQ
pointers. perhaps this could be categorized, too? not that i have any
useful suggestions for a name...
anyway, great work!
