New Metacard/Revolution Site

I have set up a new Metacard/Revolution website "Metamedia" 
("http://www.sanke.org"), at present still very much under construction, 
but already offering nearly 30 stacks of differing quality for 
downloading, which - as most of you know - can be opened inside 
Revolution. By the end of summer the number of stacks will have grown to 
about 50.

There is an English and a German version of the site, the English 
version still very much incomplete, but the stacks available from the 
German part in many cases use the English language.

The main purpose of this site is to facilitate communication between 
staff and students inside our own institution, but this should not 
prevent others from outside to take a look. Until now our texts and 
stacks were hidden on our FTP-Server behind a very long path name.
The site could also be seen as an attempt to address such problems as 
are currently discussed in thread  "Documentation & Books". There are - 
and will be - stacks and texts for absolute beginners and stacks for 
more advanced users.
You will feel the bias towards Metacard. For various reasons Metacard 
here is still the first choice for teaching and development, but the 
relationship between Metacard and Revolution is explained.

The structure of the site is like this (more implemented in the German 
version at present):

"Overview
