<h3>What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is Going On Here?</h3>

<ul>
<li>cool site-related open source apps</li>
<li>the site's twitter account</li>
<li>scripts packs or power tools</li>
<li>cool events or conferences</li>
<li>anything else your community would genuinely be interested in</li>
</ul>

<p>The goal is for future visitors to find out about <em>the stuff your community deems important</em>. And to click on it for great justice!</p>
