[Educational] Plone is a popular CMS choice for US universities

Nate,

Are the site owners the ones that need to submit entries to plone.net? 
If so, we'll need to convince the people who've submitted to 
plone4universities to enter sites there too.

I'd vote for plone.net as the default listing, although it does say 
"high-profile sites that highlight an interesting use of the Plone CMS." 
So maybe plone.net is more of a showcase than plone4universities?

I do see the appeal of the plone4universities listing, just being higher 
ed.  I wonder if it'd make sense to divide the education listing on 
plone.net, if just one education listing becomes unwieldy over time.
