we used to have, as I mentioned, a link to what Andrew would probably deem an amateurish presskit/media link (<http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/presskit.html>). It was put there when 1.0 came out. However, no one maintained it, and I removed it b/c much of what it refers to is way out of date. I believe the MP is going to have a press link, and also a more sophisticated (professional) media kit, but we should certainly link to something like that on the homepage.
