## Layout

I think this is probably just one page to start with, and then it can grow over time if necessary. But much of the content will be links elsewhere, so it may not be necessary.

## Ancilliary work

Find mentions of Stream 9 on www.centos.org and wiki.centos.org and update and/or point to this content.

~~Update the "Coming Soon" message on the Download site. When? Update it to what? Link to composes from there?~~
