I wrote a function for this in the wiki some time ago, hit "Reload" a
few times to watch it work:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PaulWFrields/TipTest

What this is *really* telling me is that, as soon as the capability
exists to host langified spaces on fedoraproject.org, we should use the
browser splash to simply redirect online when possible to the fp.o front
page.  If people can't use *THAT* as a home page/starting up point,
there is something VERY WRONG with it.  (Like, blocker bug level.)

This all fits in with Max's wish that our front page at fp.o be a little
more eye-catching and in tune with what many other FOSS projects are
doing.  And it fits in with my personal viewpoint that redundantly
creating so many "start here!" pages, without trying to improve and
build on existing stuff, is horribly inefficient and a bad use of
resources.
