We should make it easy for people to find relevant and recent information
about BBDB. The page that the sourceforge maintainers have edited with a
link to savanah (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbdb/) does not appear on
the first page of a Google or a Bing search for BBDB. You are ignoring the
fact that http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/ is the main page in the mind of
anyone who tries to find BBDB. They will not be ignoring your hint. There
is no way for them to even see it.

We do not have to take down the old site. I was only trying to get you to
insert the same "hint" on the old site as well.
