This is a temporary measure to help promote the W2L series. Link to http://www.haifux.org/index.html if you want to force the standard English page. I have put an English link on the top of the newcomers/ page to the regular homepage. It's just one more click for international visitors (which didn't follow a deep link). I could add content negotiation to this forward, and have it done only for people who prefer Hebrew pages. What do you think? Also, I thought of making the schedule page and the links to previous series in English as well.
