I'd welcome a video of how to do that. I clicked around and couldn't figure out where to edit.<div> Alex <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 30, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Michael Allan <<a href="mailto:mike@zelea.com" target="_blank">mike@zelea.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> conseo said: > I found the claims about leadership unnecessarily bold ... Myself, I'll probably remove those claims once the page is staged. I'll also remove the "Inventions" and "Prototypes" links. Meantime I'm hanging tight, waiting to see the look. Or should I edit now? But this is one of those issues on which each of us could take action independently if he wished, even as we continue to seek consensus. You could publish your own version of the home page for instance. You might keep a branch repo for this purpose, and could even stage the page on your production trunk of the code. You don't have to actually do this, of course, but I think it's neat that you *could*. It shows (just one more way) how far the tools and technology are decentered - as ofc they must be. Maybe this is where we differ most from other projects then; we know what lengths we must go in order to reach real people and we're not content with gestures or simulations in that direction.
