Kevin Grignon if you have spare time and experience in the area of design language and messaging your help would be really appreciated as I have limited experience in this area. If you have a cwiki account, I don't mind if you alter the pages I've worked on. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Apache+OpenOffice+4.0+Brand+Refresh+Project
Andrea I'll try to populate the wiki better so that it leads into each design area and add more contact information and submission help so volunteers know how to subscribe to the marketing mailing list and post their proposals to the cwiki. Then we can blog saying we need designers for ideas and to help implement. This is going to take me a few days, I'm really busy in the next day or so.
