The GitHub page is the current official site. I haven't touched 
SourceForge in aeons. The old site is mainly there for historical 
purposes; I've decided that until ELKS is a little further along in 
development, there's no point in trying to maintain an informational 
website for it. The info should be in the ELKS documentation/README 
first and on a website second.

I'd like to see some Ethernet card support in ELKS and that's where I 
personally draw the line; these days, everything is "connected" and SLIP 
is difficult to set up and requires a second computer. Everything in 
ELKS is designed solely to use SLIP and the ktcp program. Once we can 
connect to the Internet properly, we can port or write a text-mode web 
browser. I think that's when it will become more interesting to people 
in general and will justify having a new website.

Of course, I welcome the thoughts of others in this regard. These are 
just what I've contemplated in my spare time.
