Yes. At the moment it's fairly pointless, as we have just about got our
static content from the current site. On the theme side, we're halfway
between our current theme, and the spreadfirefox theme, so it looks very
ugly, to open it up for crit right now would mean that we would just get
a big bunch of pointless e-mails telling us how ugly our site is :)

We should be ready for comments by the end of next week. By then we
should have some fun stuff to show, as well.

Yes, and even small things like a banner that shows some advice or cool
information about Edubuntu that changes daily, can make the site
interesting. There's quite a few things like that we'll be implementing.
Watch this space :)

Great! If we're not going to aim for the launch anymore, then I'd even
be happy to launch sooner than 20 April, once the Edubuntu community
approves the new site.
