Re: New Homepage - "Brute force" effort of Community?

Should we start?
OK, I had hoped that we could agree on a checklist, nevertheless I have 
the feeling that the "brute force" effort has at least some supporters. 
One additional advantage to work "page-wise" will be that we don't spend 
time on things that others are already addressing.
Although Tiago and Lenna are willing to do 20 pages, I suggest to start 
with 10 pages and look if there are some issues that need 
feedback/coordination/etc. If everything is fine we just do another 10.
@Tiago:  From "65-bit_Windows_Biopython.md" to "Biopython_md"
@Lenna: From "Building_a_release.md" to "Coordinate_mapping.md"
@me: From "Create_an_Article_to_this_category.md" to "GSOC2010_Joao.md"

@Vincent: ready/willing to join in this approach?
@Peter:  OK?

Should we move to github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues for 
discussion?
