Hi,

I envision the website being very simple with a small banner at the top and with tabbed menu choices underneath the banner (maybe the Project PM logo repeated many times in banner format)

The choices will be:

Project PM (default page)
Africa Project
Science/Journalism Project
Barrett Brown
Contact

Except for the Contact button, each tab will be an about blurb.

If we're are getting the website does that mean we'll have dedicated email addresses, if so then I suggest for each tab there is a contact address for the respective topic i.e. barrett.brown@website.com, or, africa@website.com.

Also, the contact form should allow people to insert relevant information such as what they're interested, do they want to be added to newsletters, etc.

As previously discussed, the site should be accessible in all browsers including mobile browsers.

We can always add additional layers at a future date such as highlighting individuals that are spearheading the sub-projects. Also, while much more complex we can have a user-only feature that allows members of certain projects to have dynamic discussion, but I imagine that's for a much later date and we should start with something simple.

P.S. I've added project.pm.information in the TO address, so if anyone wants to respond there, feel free

P.P.S. Should Mano be included in this conversation?
