> The welcome portlet contains several links to external resources such as the FAQ, Wiki, and mailing lists.  Any external resources that are not hosted at geronimo.apache.org are referred to indirectly via a redirect page that is hosted at geronimo.apache.org.  For example, the location of the confluence Wiki may change so instead of hardcoding its current location which is at opensource.atlassian.com the link in welcome portlet points at a page on geronimo.apache.org that automatically redirects the browser to opensource.atlassian.com.   This allows Geronimo to change where the welcome portlet points its links at without patching the console.
> The links to the user and dev mailing lists on the right hand column of the welcome portlet use these redirects and they work fine.  However, there are two additoinal links to the user and dev mailing lists in the main text of the portlet that do not use the redirects and point directly at pages hosted at marc.theaimsgroup.com.  Those links should use the redirect pages at geronimo.apache.org instead.  Otherwise the links may fail or lead to inappropriate content outside the control of apache.org.
