Most people wouldn't know precision if it hit the in the face. Precision is desirable, but it's really not the #1 priority. Very precise text also tends to be long and confusing. So you need to find a compromise. That doesn't mean that the compromise *has* to be "what's new at OOo", but I do think that the original was not so good. > I would also have, as we do now, Contributing work and Donating funds. > When we first put the Donation element oin the current site up, > Jacqueline pointed out it is more effective to just say, Donate > Funds--not to leave it vague.

How about light red / pink ?
