<div><br></div><div>Because votorola is a system, and because governance is so important, I think it's equally important to creae some documents that make it easy for folks to get a quick overview of the system so that they can adjust their expectations appropriately, and so that if they choose to get involved and try things out, they will have an idea of where they stand and what to do next.</div>

<div><br></div><div>For example, a directory entry like that might be:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Icon or logo for votorola.</div><div>2. 1 sentence description</div><div>3. 1 paragraph summary</div><div>4. A link to a page for a status update on the project</div>

I'm leaning towards a "no" and I don't have solid reasons. Something like the fact that the pollwiki is "in" votorola, and we want to be jus a little outside it. Also, permissions for editing these pieces? Do we need to lock them down a bit?</span></font></div>
