As a translator, I always do.

devel/participating/ looks like the right place.  We should also move
there comparison links from documentation.

Besides this, even if we removed the regtests link from the doc index,
the regtests are still present in the docball, so I second Jan's
suggestion about creating a new page devel.html.in for developer
resources, with a link from index.html.in.

Graham, if you agree with these suggestions, I'll go ahead, not before
Friday though.

Good idea, I plan to go to Mars (i.e. learning Scheme) asap, maybe next
Summer :-P
