Me and Jason have been discussing the site, and were thinking that an
update might be in order at some point in the near(ish) future. There
are quite a few changes that have been discussed, and it makes sense to
have them go live at the same time as part of an event, rather than
being added incrementally.

Jason's kindly offered to create a branch where we can prepare these
updates before making them live.

Here's a list of changes that have been discussed:

 * Refinement of the home page text

 * Addition of video content

 * Follow us buttons for Twitter and Identica

 * A Facebook 'Like' button

 * One of Andreas's snazzy page footers, like the one on the t-shirt
contest site [1]

 * A launch party page

 * A developer platform page

 * Updates to the Try It page, hopefully with a link to the preview
build

That's not a list of what we should or need to do; it's just the
possibilities that I'm aware of. Contributions would be welcome, of
course.

Best wishes,

Allan
