[Corpora-List] CfPs to a separate page?

I completely agree with Yannick that:
1. corpora-list is probably the main "hangout" area for Computational Linguists
2. and that encouraging everyone to place CFP in the subject header is a 
good way of getting around the issue

On a related note, I have been maintaining a CL/NLP conference calendar 
since 2004 which people may find useful if they want to avoid sifting 
through corpora-list emails:

I have to say that over the years corpora-list has been the main source 
for the listings, followed by linguistlist and the ACL site.
