Looks like a good start. I'd suggest that you also point to the
Fortran marketplace. I know it's sort of the competition, but there
are lots of useful links to the FAQ's. vendors, etc.
I'd also do a page with a title like "How do I learn the new stuff in F90"
and mention the books that are especially geared to the new stuff.
Probably also put in a discussion of the subsets and point to their
web pages for examples of how to do things in F90 (of course, I might be
biased here)
