Although generally, we're probably not going to move the schedule around
for just one project (miss this one, there's always the next release in
six months), I can definitely see the value in having easy access to the
schedules.  I've gone ahead and added links at the bottom of the page
for OOo and the GNOME schedule.  Having others listed would be great!
