I pretty much agree.  I did not write the original on that site.  What I
have written in the past are pages like this (screenshots included):
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2014.11.19
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2011.11.01

I am asking for assistance writing a replacement as it needs to be done
but I simply don't have the time (or apparently the perspective) to do it
properly. :-)

Thanks!

Tim
