The url says schedule, so it should contain schedule information.
The url above could point to the current schedule, with additions to
point to previous schedules.

e.g. fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule-fc3/

I'm not suggesting this url is much better, because we're still stuck
with the "participate" bit, which probably doesn't belong in the url.

If we ditched that, we might have
 fedora.redhat.com/fc3/schedule/
 fedora.redhat.com/fc2/schedule/
 fedora.redhat.com/schedule/ would point to current.

Then we have the problem comparing releases.. but we don't really need
to do that.
