It is inappropriate for wide consumption, as I said above, but not
inappropriate in general.  New committers need information about
machines/accounts available for committers and a little intranet-like
area works well for that purpose.

Please just let me know what information you want to be made public,
and lets talk about the best way to link to it.  The 'Internal Pages'
link is a big regression and most of the information there can be
found more directly. 

Main page -> development -> release engineering
  makes more sense than
Main page -> intranet -> release engineering

The things that are not available from some more direct second level
page are mostly those that are not relevant for the public, which is
why I keep asking what content you are concerned about making more
public?

Adding lots of redundant links is one of the big problems we had with
the old website and I do not want to go down that road again.

I apologized to him for directing it at the wrong person right after I
send that.
