[FM Discuss] new front page for FM

[Mick]

Hi there,

I'm doing some work on this for the next couple of hours so if anyone
has a spare 30-60 mins you could really help out.

I'll be in irc.freenode.net #flossmanuals

Tomi, When you mean sites, I think that it would be good to have
different pages showing when people go to either
http://fi.flossmanuals.net and http://en.flossmanuals.net

But I think they could easily share the same codebase and hosting.

Linking to objavi isn't optimal as that server is sometimes down and it
seems a bit heavy handed to use it to generate files each time someone
downloads it.

Tomi, why not have a look at the code and have a go at creating data
files for the finnish manuals as let's see what we can come up with
together. I don't think this will be a bit job. In fact this could be
the perfect solution for fi.flossmanuals.net.

Thanks
Mick
