This is great feedback. Anyone else agree that the front page is
to "busy" and that these items should be removed? Obviously I like em
but a yay or nay concensus from the group would be good.

And those of you who want to contribute alternate color schemes/themes
for the site can check out http://themes.postnuke.com for more info. At
the very least, I will make them optional. Registered users can change the
site's theme in their user preferences. There are some unedited samples
there now. If someone submits something really good, I'll make it
the default.

You should know that I don't want too much graphical eye-candy. Clean
and efficient is what I'm going for. I know it can be better than what
I've done thus far but it's definitely time to move forward.

These are excellent suggestions and will be added.

You guys can add FAQ questions directly to the site. When I log in,
I'll get a message about "waiting content" and will be able to add your
questions to the FAQ (along with answers of course).
