 I'm seeing a lot of recurrent questions on IRC, forums and ml. I sometimes
 even have a hard time finding essential docs myself.

 What we could do is rethink a bit the main page, i think we could add a
 "Testing" section that would contain useful links that don't really belong
 to the "Development" section (which is more a "Develop Haiku" section
 really).

 "Testing" could contain links to:
 - Prebuilt images (define what are the images exactly, had this question
 on IRC)

 - Building from source + Build system FAQ (todo)

 - Testing on a virtual machine -> usage for qemu, vmware, vbox etc..

 - Testing on real hardware -> How To Boot Haiku (mmlr)

 - Getting help

 - Reporting bugs

 Next would be to add a "Use Haiku" section, with links to basic use,
 particularities, tips, developing apps on haiku

 Could be discussed on the ml though...
