I agree with Marcus' comments.  I think the opening page for squeak.org, 
at least, should remain a static html page.

We should have more integrated links from squeak.org to various Swiki 
pages, though.  One good example would be to have a prominent "Latest 
News" link from the squeak.org frontpage to the "News" page on the 
Swiki.  This would let people easily see what recent activity has been 
going on in the Squeak world.
