> The welcome application and the welcome portlet currently contain links to web pages outside of the geronimo.apache.org web site (e.g. the docs in Confluence).  Since the destination of these links is outside of our control they may go stale during the lifetime of the 1.0 console.  So instead of linking to those web pages directly the welcome application and welcome portlet should instead link to web pages on the geronimo.apache.org web site.  The geronimo.apache.org web site can then redirect the browser to the external address if necessary.  This will allow us to change where the links in the welcome portlet and welcome app take a web browser without actually changing the installed geronimo server.
> Ideally we could configure the geronimo.apache.org HTTP server to issue the redirects.  But since that requires administrative access to the HTTP server we can use html files containing a <meta http-equiv="refresh" ...> tag instead.
