[documentation] Re: [infrastructure] [Problems with this website]RSS feed for newmodules

[Steven Peck]

An explanation is fine there but I'd rather keep the actual links in one
place as it's
1> easier to update
2> leads them to additional resources.
3> leading to additional resources helps people 'learn their way
around'.

I didn't search, it's a top level handbook page.  Of course, I also
added it to the handbook and checking and formatting it took quite a bit
of time.

The reason it doesn't come up on searches is because the page is a list
of links with now content or real explanations on what it does and
unless you specify 'Exactly' a link, search won't find links.  Ie,
nothing to actually search on.

If someone wants to step up and add good solid descriptions to the page
links and expand on the introductory explantion then that would be
awesome.  Perhaps do some additional mining for any new links as
well....
