With all due respect and appreciation for your efforts.... marketing is one

counts more. We're not talking about a magazine ad, we're talking about a
web site that people have taken some effort to find and go to - they're
(we're) looking for information - if the information isn't there, it doesn't
matter how pretty the site is.
I'm sure Noah agrees with you, and the information/utility value will
get added soon. However, there's also plenty of value to be found in
having a site that's easy on the eyes. Perhaps the balance swung a
little too far in the marketing direction this time, but that will get
corrected. Arguing over it on this mailing list doesn't really help at
this point -- pointing out stuff that you would like to be able to
easily access and isn't, currently, (like your MarkMail point, on
which I probably agree) does. Even better if you add notes like that
to the aforementioned wiki page.
Well, ok, somebody want to add me to the contributors list so I can edit
the wiki?
