Done.  

I didn't know what the protocol was for author info, so thanks, Lucas.  I replaced the excerpt with your suggestion here.

Hi Stephanie,

You don't need to put author info in the excerpt. The new excerpt is
nicely short but I would mention the author to make it more clear
who's interviewing who. Something like:

Ian McIntosh interviews Amy de Groff, Head of IT for the Howard County
Library, about their switch to GNU/Linux and implementation of
Groovix, an Ubuntu-based distribution.

What do you think?

I still miss some direct mentions to GNOME in the interview...
