Maybe this has been suggested in previous years -- if so, please indulge me
as I suggest it again.

Many have posted reviews to a website. Would it be a good idea (and this is
mainly a question to Stephen) to add an additional link to the competition
website called "Competition Reviews" -- allowing a central find-it to link
them all? In future years, this would be a handy reference. Click to
ifcomp.org, browse back to 2004's official page, click the "reviews" link. I
can think of reasons not to (links that become broken, content that changes
beyond just IF COMP reviews, etc), but overall, it seems like a good idea...

Of course, I wouldn't expect somebody to scour the newsgroup looking for the
links. We could email the request (with the link) to the maintainer. Anyway,
it's an idea.

I've not wanted to add that to the competition page because of the
rate at which such links go stale. I'd rather not take on the added
job of keeping those up-to-date.
