Without a splash page, we would not have the option of doing fundraising drives (which we've done in the past) and we'd lose the link to donate (which people do use). What is the problem with the splash page (other than the issues with WifiDog+WGT that Russell mentioned)? Would adding a social/interactive component improve your view of the splash page? I think you hang out with a lot of the tech types that I'd love to see helping PTP, so I'd like to know if there's something we could do to engage them that we aren't doing now. -- Michael Weinberg President Personal Telco Project, Inc.
