It does. I suspect that the bare * is equivalent to *FrontPage.

I like the goodies too, so i think it should be tried out.

There is also a less positive goodie, namely that, if it flops and  
there is only, say, one or two exhibitions made, then the link from  
the link from 'close to the portal root' can be deleted without  
touching the exhibition at all. The exhibition can then continue it's  
silent life in sleep till waken again without casting shame to the  
portal. I of cause don't hope that to happen. And it might even be  
that only few exhibitions deserves the attention. But a "plan b" is  
then sought for.
