Depends on the audience. The link list above is maintainer-centric and
thus could make sense for the maintainer-relevant sites (but then, the
bugtracker is used by both, users and maintainers). As a user browsing
the opencsw.org site i would want to see only user-relevant links ...
and that's as few as possible to get me started using OpenCSW packages.

The opensolaris.com site is IMHO a good example of how to target users
as opposed to opensolaris.org as a developer hub.
