Take the first paragraph: "In April 1999, the egcs steering committee was appointed by the FSF as the official GNU maintainer for GCC. At that time GCC was renamed from the "GNU C Compiler" to the "GNU Compiler Collection" and received a new mission statement." This was highly relevant to people who visited the site using the old egcs.cygnus.com name, or were trying to understand what happened with the egcs/gcc merger, but that's three years old. I can try to think up some new text to go here, but others may have ideas. Also: Current release series: GCC 3.2 should say GCC 3.2 (released 2002-08-14) is the last 3.2 release. Under the "Bugs" menu on the bottom left, many folks won't know what GNATS means. I suggest that the text be changed to "Bug database" or some such.
