Hi;
	I too think that it is a bit dry in content at the moment. Would I be able
to suggest that we replace the "Special  Event" space with the listing of
the IP Groups so we could look more involved in the community? Just my two
cents as EIC.
	Mike

The previous homepage included the listing of subject categories which
provided visitors with a strong indication that we were content oriented
and, the range of content available.

I think we should make a real effort with the home page to clearly reflect
the underlying content... and probably should quickly move to including
promotion of our featured IP.
