[General] Wiki update pre-testing

[Matthew Eernisse]

Wow, the look and feel are a huge improvement, and well worth the 
relatively short wait. Now that I see this, I'm glad we punted on 
incremental visual upgrades to the old one.

One thing I noticed -- when I see the OSAF logo next to the Cosmo logo 
on the Cosmo page:

http://twiki-new.osafoundation.org/Projects/CosmoHome

Maybe it's just by way of comparison, but does the OSAF logo look a 
little blurry/fuzzy?

I also notice we now have a working favicon.ico! Very slick.

Excellent work, y'all.
