However, the 2.12  version of the website meets this goal for me on every
system I have (I don't have an eee).  Or it would, if a link to the
Contributor's guide were added.  So a design goal of working within
the same screen real estate as the Documentation Home for 2.12 would be both
feasible (for the design) and functional (for me).
