Jonathan,
If we start this (as a proof of concept I'm assuming until we get Toby's
ok) I would also like to initiate conversation on rebranding which was
recently brought up on this list.
Re-branding is something Toby always brought up but there wasn't any ideas
that really stuck out for him.
That re-branding can help sell the idea of a wordpress site.
I'd also like to see how complicated it would be to port the sharing
platform content over.
