Hmm, maybe we should group "Commit Bit Expiration Policy" and "Commit
Bit and Project Resources Policy" together as well as the "Core
Bylaws" with "Core's Voting Procedures" as they are related topics.
The rest is pretty much standalone and I can't find any other better
order. I can also live with Eitan's suggestion of having them in
alphabetical order.

in general, I like the bullet list better than the original list of
links in a long setence.

Benedict
