Attached are two files that implement a first, quick, cut at this.
The first is a patch to www/en/index.sgml. Apply this and test if you
have a local copy of the www repository.
The second is the index.html that this generates, for those that don't
have a repo to hand, and just want to see what it looks like (keep in
mind that you won't get any of the images).
Comments?

Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95.
Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free. USENET transmission,
hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thinking before posting, priceless.

<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">What is FreeBSD?</FONT></H2>
<P>FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the
Intel compatible (x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures.
It is developed and maintained by <A HREF="./handbook/staff.html">a large team of
individuals</A>.</P>
<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">Cutting edge features</FONT></H2>
<P>FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and
compatibility <A HREF="./features.html">features</A> today
which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of
the best commercial ones.</P>
<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">Powerful Internet solutions</FONT></H2>
<P>FreeBSD makes an ideal <A HREF="./internet.html">Internet
or Intranet</A> server. It provides robust network services,
even under the heaviest of loads, and uses memory efficiently to
maintain good response times for hundreds, or even thousands, of
simultaneous user processes. Visit our <A HREF="gallery/gallery.html">gallery</A> for examples of
FreeBSD powered applications and services.</P>
<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">Run a huge variety of
applications</FONT></H2>
<P>The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost,
high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical
alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. It is well-suited
for a great number of both desktop and server <A HREF="./applications.html">applications</A>.</P>
<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">Easy to install</FONT></H2>
<P>FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including
CD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if
you have a network connection, you can install it
<I>directly</I> over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a pair
of blank, 1.44MB floppies and <A HREF="./handbook/install.html">these directions</A>.</P>
<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">FreeBSD is <I>free</I></FONT></H2>
<A HREF="copyright/daemon.html"><IMG SRC="gifs/dae_up3.gif" ALT="" HEIGHT="81" WIDTH="72" ALIGN="RIGHT" BORDER="0"></A>
<P>While you might expect an operating system with these features
to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available free of charge
and comes with full source code. If you would like to try it
out, <A HREF="./availability.html">more information is
available</A>.</P>
<H2><FONT COLOR="#990000">Contributing to FreeBSD</FONT></H2>
<P>It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do
is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be
improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly)
and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr
or a committer, if you know one. This could be anything
from documentation to artwork to source code. See the <A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/contrib.html">Contributing
to FreeBSD</A> section in the FreeBSD Handbook.</P>
