This request should be on -www and as a note I don't know that I like 
the idea.

There were two suggestions there, and technically one of them goes to 
-docs instead if we're gonna get picky.

1) Switch the URL that's already on the coding page to more directly point 
to a URL that actually exists, rather than a redirect.  That seems 
undebatable.

2) Put a link to an area that contains information like current CommitFest 
progress in the development section of the manual.

(2) was already suggested here recently; I said I didn't think that was a 
good idea until the content there stabilized because I planned a 
reorganization.  I was just announcing that I believe that to be stable 
now, and I nominate the revised "Developer information" page as the one to 
link to.

If you don't like the idea of embedding a few choice URLs from the wiki 
into the main documentation in general, I don't know why.  The manual is 
great for some things, the wiki is great for others, and the best way to 
use both for what they're good at is to start coupling them together at 
appropriate points.
