agreed.

btw, see my idea in my last response to Nuno about the reasons cycling at the 
bottom where the "four reasons" are right now. might be a nice way to 
accomodate information without sacrificing attention span?

erf.. ok.. well, it's already a nice improvement. we can continue to work on

after thinking about it some more, i agree with you. so scrap that idea. :)

again, agreed. i do think we should have a page that shows what we have done 
and how money gets spent (we already have the quarterly reports; it might be 
enough to just link to them)
