I have reverted this change. We have way too many links in the
frontpage. I don't think we need more marketing links now. If anything
invest in cleaning up http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing so that
the links are prominent and content is well organized.

Next step would getting super simple content in the plone site up and
running.

I apologize for that. I did not know the exact procedure for modifications.
In the future I will be sure to make sure that I have explicit permission
before making any changes to any part of the wiki.

Generally we let people do any changes they prefer to the wiki but the 
front page is a very prominent face of the project. So a bit more 
verification is healthy.

Don't worry about it, the main page is something special just because it 
is the most trafficked.  It's a wiki, no harm done :)
