VULab Product Homepage

[Jess Mitchell]

Blake,

A few quick thoughts:

I'm excited you're thinking about this as we near the 1.0 release.

I think that VU Lab would appropriately live under http://fluidproject.org/vulab 
  or some such URL (if you want to do a redirect from a yorku server,  
then that seems as though it will be fine).  Having said that, VU Lab  
is also listed as a product on our newly freshened site -- since it is  
a product and deliverable for Fluid.  So, let's flesh out the presence  
on the products page and then you can also have a page that gets  
linked to from the Fluid site.  Also, just to reiterate, the current  
code should always be in the Fluid repository.

How's that?

Best,
Jess
