It seems like we're going full circle here. I am not at all 'set' on using wordpress, I just thought it would fit the need of being easy to update and provide a custom URL: watir.com. If we just want to redirect watir.com to http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home then that suits me, as

Let me chime in by trying to restate the problem and why this idea got started in the first place. 1. The current home page for Watir (at wtr.rubyforge.com) is hard for the community to update. It is a webgen-based website, stored with the Watir code base. Any one with commit rights to Watir c
