fluid project website questions

[Jonathan Hung]

On the "old" site, with each release, a new set of demos are made
available on the website. They don't link to the wiki or the build
site. This keeps readers on our site on the site proper as much as
possible. http://fluidproject.org/index.php/demos

I think for the new site we should continue to do the same. With each
new release, make the new demos available directly on the website, and
"archive" the older versions.

As great as our Wiki is, it's rather daunting for new users and a bit
jarring if being transported constantly between our website and the
wiki.

- Jonathan.
