If the boss says so... :)

I'm not really knowledgeable about the latest trends in term of website
layout but that could find it place in one of those supersized footer,
no? Along with a bunch of other projects we want to acknowledge and
share mutual benefit. We might be willing to do the same with the Tor
logo for example.

With ikiwiki you can have custom templates for some page, so that could
appear on the footer of the homepage only.
