Isn't this something we should discuss on www@ ? We mostly had the idea that if something was to be added on the pages we should remove something to refrain from getting overloaded again. That said; we still have multiple reported issues which should be resolved prior to adding these kind of links.

I would like to see at least some discussion on www@ first so could you please ponder on backing out this change till this had been discussed?

Hmm. I would really prefer we keep the highly visible top-of-page link for the Foundation while the details are sorted it out, rather than removing it. The Foundation is about $140k in the red on our annual budget right now, and we're in the throes of a fundraising campaign to try to raise the funds to pay for next year's developer travel, conference sponsorshop (AsiaBSDCon, EuroBSDCon, BSDCan), developer summits, etc. I appreciate the need to go about things the right way, hence our contacting doceng to request the change in the first place, but there is a very real and concrete reason we want it on there: if we don't raise the funds, the Foundation won't be doing much in 18 months' time. Can we find a way to resolve the technical issues on the schedule they will inevitably take to resolve without reducing Foundation visibility on the front page?
