Yeah, this is just a mock-up for a potnetial design. Don't worry to much about 
content for now. I will ensure people are aware that you would like news to 
stay at the front. I would like news to stay there, too.

Why not have both? The microblogging does not have to be random. We can 
aggregate the tweets of people we know, love and trust. Or we can create a new 
dedicated-to-kolab.org account which is shown there.

I will point this out to Nuno and co.

The huge headline is just an example for the landing page. Like all things, it 
is open to dicussion. Even on my laptop (with 800 vertical pixels) it isn't 
/that/ bad.

I'm glad you agree.

Of course not. The short deadline is simply because we want to move this 
quickly. The timing of early evening was simply force of habit. Whenever I 
hold IRC meetings in KDE I always do them around this time. Yes, some people 
might be having dinner, but it means the meeting does not get in the way of 
the majority of the participants work days.

Feel free to suggest a better time for on-going meetings.


All the best,
Paul
