I agree with Thomas on this one. Seeing a link that says "Participate" just
feels like it's missing an exclamation point and subtext saying I could
earn $2,000/week from it. ;)
Since this has turned into bikeshedding over names when we have a general
metadata solution, I've filed https://github.com/takluyver/flit/issues/116

Perhaps this points to labelling URLs with nouns rather than verbs:<br>
things like 'mailing list', 'source code' or 'issue tracker' \
seem less<br> ambiguous than 'participate' or \
