I'm really glad you took the time to dig through our 
discussions.  You're right, this is a really interesting project!

These are all great suggestions.

When we wrote the first invite we were just starting to solidify our 
vision for the project.  We also didn't have very much on the 
wiki.  Now we have a much better idea of where we're going and the 
open plans wiki is really starting to come together.  So, we don't 
need to explain everything in a long invite.
