Keep it simple and then refine it. I think it will turn some atte= ntion to the AOO podling's story. Let's try to restart this thread, since it appears entropy got he best of it in the first try. We currently have this on the Podling website: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/get-involved.html Can we update that as needed and just direct the participate page to that? One higher level issue we have is that we have never reached consensus on how the Apache-domain project site and the openoffice.org site relate.
