Category Pages v. Normal Pages

I just moved the main page here. This feels a bit unsuitable, since it's not the main purpose of category pages, but since there was so little content on it, it seemed like the best way to help people find good content. As and when it gets expanded to something more like a full page, it might be good to move it back. For now, it's easy enough to use redirects.
