+    <p>WineHQ has been redisigned recently. But there is still work to do.
+      So you would feel like writing about Wine or coding in Php your
+      contribution will be appreciated. You can find the current task list
+      in <a href="http://bugs.winehq.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=WineHQ.com&component=misc-web">Bugzilla</a>,
+      but see also this <a href="http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/03/0804.html">email</a>
+      for a great TODO list.
+      Getting started is easy. Just get the WineHQ sources by following the
+      instructions in our <a href="http://www.winehq.com/?page=cvs">CVS</a>
+      section and look at the files in templates/en. And to submit patches,
+      simply follow the instructions on our
+      <a href="http://www.winehq.com/?page=sending_patches">Sending Patches</a> page.

There is one already. It's called 'Forums' because it also covers the
IRC channel and the newgroup.

 The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day the
  programmer rested. We've been trying to debug the *&^%$#@ thing ever since.
                      Moral: design before you implement.
