Hidden? then how come I can see it? I mean, if I can see it, everyone else
can. Given that I haven't changed anything and everything on its default
settings.

It's okay for ToriOS 1.0 to be the way it's right now. We're not talking
about the past, we're planning for the future. We just need to improve what
we currently have at the moment.

The above email should explain my real intention.
I'll send another one with a proposed list of what I think is the best for
ToriOS.web and perhaps for the later version of ToriOS in general.

No, we need that. We just need to update the fist line that tells the
version.
We may also update the list of the family ;-)
