No problem at all :-)

I've been constantly and directly pinging the Plone guys and they have
been unresponsive for quite a while. That is worrying me a bit... The
major Plone implementation bits that I think are missing now:

1. The style of the front page.
2. Style for the list of press releases

I suggest you guys to go through the current content and do a summary
of what's missing content-wise. I really think we're close to get
something roughly complete.

I guess we could. But we need Plone-experts to jump in with a proper
solution for videos though.

Thanks for pinging!
