That's probably true.  Currently openhatch.org points towards
campus.openhatch.org, which is actually a pretty bad place for it to link,
information-wise, in that it's aimed entirely at organizers (not attendees,
maintainers, or non-organizer volunteers) and is possibly the spot, of all
those listed, that has the most restricted access.

Sheila, can you elaborate on "Have a friendly landing page that is
generated from readme?"
