Hi Will,

Just 2 minor issues I see on the page right now.

1) Stu is trying to maintain two identities now.  He used my template but
didn't change my name :) Please change his section from "Justin is a current
member..." --> "Stuart is a current member..."

2) In the 3rd bullet point under "Tasks" the link to the social media page
is covering half the paragraph.  Should just be "various social media
channels <http://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/social_media>" and then
back to normal text until the Tasks page link.

Thanks again!
Justin
