That will come out in due time, Grasshopper. :-) Ommmm... Seriously, that
seemed like it would come out in the wash (as in, the writing process), and
of course, be movable. Since the group is generally affirmative of these
changes, I'll keep on working (with Steve's suggested changes) and start to
break stuff out.

Looking at other projects, I think keeping the facilitators' names on the
contact page (maybe at the top) versus on the main page is really ok, and
emphasizes the idea that this is a community project where all voices are
valued -- the email link is there, of course, in terms of being able to
contact us.

I think that the current second paragraph (rationale) should be kept, either

It could easily go into Mission and Scope -- it just felt like way too much
text for the main page, particularly since the paragraph above it makes it
clear what the group is doing. It's not that it isn't a good thing to say,
but I'm not sure that the splash page is the place to say it.

that sounds like a good addition -- maybe in a box. If the page is very lean
and mean, then it would really stand out.

Great input!
