[James Vorderbruggen <jamesvorder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a Google Drive folder or something where we're sharing resources
for the new site yet?  We should really have a central repository for
resources if we want to start accelerating on this.  Satyajit's draft is
really nice, and a PSD of it that's available to everyone would be helpful
so we can start making revisions.  I'd like to get the ball rolling on this
project.  Should I be joining the artwork sub-team if I want to be involved
in the website?

Thanks Alfredo,
James
