Oh ok.  Yeah, that seems like a good idea.  Where would this new page live?

Yes, I can help with proofing.

Idea (fwiw)
What about keeping kind of a Hackfest History on this page?  Nothing fancy. 
Just say when and where, how many hackers.  I like the idea of telling users 
which issues were worked on.  Although in a different message thread, Martin 
didn't think it was necessary.  For me, I think it could help drive 
donations, if users can see what kind of work was being done.  It could be 
very simplistic description.

All best,
brynn
