The page contains very simple text that is non-inflammatory wordings and fits nicely with the ASF website look and feel. The page was written by Gianugo Rabellino [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 is this just for the 27th, or 27th through 1st? i'm inclined toward the latter.. some suggestions: 1. sixty seconds isn't long enough for all that text to be read and assimilated. i think the interval should be made longer, and there should be some way to reach it in case of 'hey, i wasn't finished!' or 'what did that say again?' or 'hey, that was in english, and i don't read english so good'. 2. change 'open source' to 'open software'. on the one hand, defuse any potential open-source/free-software issues; for another, make it clear to people reading it exactly what this is about. a lot of people use our software without knowing or caring that it's open source, or even what that means. we want to raise their awarenesses, too. 3. it's too late, probably, but multiviewed translated pages would be an outstanding feature. -- #kenP-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ Millennium hand and shrimp! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
