Just one thought.... is the '4' in place of 'four' perhaps a little
laboured? My one concern with this is that the use of 'text message'
dilberate misspellings always seems like a rather contrived attempt to
appeal to 'youth culture' to me.

I'd also like to add that i'd be happy to help with any design /
artwork requirements you might need for this... is the 'starter pack'
going to be in dead-tree or electronic form? also, given the recent
criticisms of the fc-uk wiki, would it be worth trying to put together
a FC4S microsite that is 'friendlier' in appearance?


cheers,


Tim

What a great idea. I've started adding stuff to the wiki page.

Yes. this has been discussed for a /long/ time and i don't it is /that/
hard -- but it will require quite a bit of time and effort specially in
making contact both with partner orgs and potential participants (the
obvious people to chat to would be the Creative Archive give their large
pool of users).

I'm definitely willing to help on this.
