Just to add to that, everyone is welcome to change the main page.  The 
decisions from the change come from input gathered from distributors and 
people offlist.  There's is still lots of room for improvement.

You could update it :)

Fair enough.  Perhaps linking to:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko:Community_Portal

Makes more sense.

Is now fixed after "Get Involved" has been updated.

"How to purchase" has now been updated to include Getting Openmoko, 
along with quick links to other resources.

As for the Jokes page, where do you suggest it shoupld be placed on the 
main page?
