http://www.ryand.net/oss/abi has a zip of my starting point.  I'm super
willing to adapt it, but I've got a nice structure (Main Projects,
Associate Projects) that I think we can work with, and some (IMHO)
written copy that might serve us well.  I'll grub up my SVG's so that
everyone can join in the fun.  Remember, though, that WinIE doesn't like
transparent PNG's at all without some freaky stuff, so be wary.

(EDIT:  I meant to send this 2 days ago, but my connection's been odd 
and outgoing email hasn't worked.  If someone could grab my zip and 
commit it as a tagged branch on the test bed, that would be nifty. 
Letting me know off-list what the tag is is cool with me.  Thanks!)
