I think it should be moved to a so-called `corporate' section like I was discussing earlier. I have received a couple whitepapers from people and I think that it would be really nice to get that kind of information up. Some of the press articles are silly, but I find them 9 of the 10 times quite interesting. > If not, we should merge the news and press sections together on the > front page so we don't "waste" as much front page space on the press > section. Well, news is important. If we can get news `shorts' that would be really neat, because we could style them in a pretty cool way. --Devon
