I suggest we just drop this page completely and use the default

about:home start page instead. Thoughts?
As seen before this page is used, to get people on the Planet.
The planet is not really interesting for end-users, and contributors
already
have them in their RSS readers.
So the real question is: Do we want this page to be contributor or end user centric? As we try to keep both with a simple page, it could not work easily.
Existing contributors already follow the planet or know about it, and this page is not helping to get any potential contributors (aka end-users) to contribute, because it's cluttery and scary and has a lot of tecnobabble from the planet and announcements.
The default browser homepage is not the place to recruit new contributors, and it's really not the place to show information for existing contributors (we have mailing lists, wiki and planet RSS feed for that) -- Kévin Raymond (shaiton) GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2
