The one in Paul's email is fine with me. The first link is for people that want to help with the project and don't know where to get started, not necessarily for people who don't know what Flex is. We want to be helpful to new comers in this way (search for "want to help" or "how to get started" in the mailing list archives).
In another way these links are also for *us* to get to the other areas of the project we use most. These are more valuable when you are working on multiple devices, which many of do, and don't have all the project links bookmarked on them.
