As I said, I think Roger's latest is on the right track. However, he left out 
the footer from Paul's new k12 site. I think this is essential (in some form) 
and that we should also encourage participating distro logos or at least links 
and application project links/logos. I leave it up to designers to arrange it 
all, but related projects should be there, too.

I'm for 2-3 headlines under each of Roger's links would be good. Longer would 
be too much on the page and again. (I'm referring to Roger's mock up of a list 
of descriptors with sites listed under each.)

Have a look at the "statement" I posted in reply to Felipe and I'll work on a 
more conversational version. Short is good, in my view, as it allows room to 
see the links that would come below it. (Of course it could be continued on an 
/about.html page)

And plan also to post the full announcemnet to opensourceschools.org. I 
imagine other supporters will also want to post it (or something _about_ it).

Thanks,
