[Bf-webcontent] Re-activating list

[mindrones]

Peter, great! :)

If you want to start working on it, I think you could do it already,
preparing a text file with the redirects that you would do.

I don't have the connection at home lately (waiting for it to be
installed), so I can't work from home much lately, but if we agree to
do this we can at least divide the job in 2: htmlI and htmlII.

Then, since we are monitoring the wiki with google analytics, we
should apply them all at once, so that we see if that helped the wiki
traffic starting from the exact date we did it :)

Laters!
Luca
