Yep - and the current one's not a lot better. Lots of opportunities
are also being missed to put a communication-type wrapper around it
that speaks about what kind of community we are  - must be fixed for
Final, if not for Beta2.

Role account; also advisory to the board on presenting Mageia outside
the core community.

Can we have some server space and a CRM, and who do we ask for that?
What I'd like to be able to tell new marcom people is: go to here
<link>, use your Mageia ID to log in, have at it.

I'd also like something like the Wiki we used with Graham to work out
the Vision and so on - that was very good for teamwork, even with us
being in different timezones. Any ideas? Then we can sandbox our
writings for people to look at and comment on (on the list maybe?) so
we can refine it.

Even less now! 

If we could get the CRM and sandbox/marcomm wiki area set up by the
start of next week, we can get cracking.

And: who's team leader for Artwork? I know Alex is doing a lot of the
creative stuff, but we should feed stuff through the team leader -
requests for artwork to go with writings, collaborate on
posters/banners/whatever...

Cheers!
