well, i have seen worse on the puredata.org page. all the links work,
and point to the right resource.

this page has never been really finished. I would say 50%
of puredata.org are in the same state.

Everything that avoids duplication is good for me.

I think that puredata.org needs a bit more work than just
copying the link to the feature and patch trackers.

-) http://puredata.org/dev/ has several broken links (externals,
   abstraction, etc, etc..
-) what is the difference between puredata.org/dev and
   http://puredata.org/docs/developer/ ? its bad to have the
   information in two different places. maybe we can merge this.
-) Instead(or in addition) of having a link to a list of bugs, the bug
   tracker should have a link to the bug submit page (same for feature
   request and patches).

In general I find the wiki pretty confusing, but maybe I am just too
old and conservative. I would say we try to fix this, so that changing
the link really is an improvement of the situation.
