Hi All

This mail was meant to go to the list and is from Danyl. It only got sent to
me and I've been asked whether I could forward it on for individual
consideration.

> corporate-sounding and more accurate and tweaking the text. I imagine
> this text changing and evolving a lot as we incorporate everyone's
> feedback and suggestions.
> * adding a separate section for the free software recommendations. I
> could move all the arguments about free software from the 'what we do'
> text to here and just have a brief reference to free software use in
> that text if people want that. Also if you have any more software
> suggestions (libre or otherwise) send them in and I will add them to
> that page.
> * adding a 'free audio' section which refers to Radio4All,
> Radio.Indymedia.org and our archive of UTR, EcoShow etc on Paranode.
> * changing the way the station names and broadcast areas are laid out
> (thanks for the tip on that Ian)
> * altering the link to my contacts (which are only there in case readers
> have suggestions about the site, find broken links etc) at the bottom
> each page to "Site Design by Strypey". If others muck in and help with
> or take over the maintenance of this site I will happily put their
> handle there and a link to their contacts ;)
> * tweaking all the text to give the correct impression that AIR is a
> tool for co-operation between voluntary free radio  activists involved
> in a range of independent projects. Again any suggestions on further
> tweaking the text to get this right is welcome.
