I've been doing some work on a prototype redesign. Please take a look at:

	http://drydock.python.net:9673/python

The look is straight plone, with the substitution of a one of the proposed new 
logos. Thanks are in order to Stefan Drees and the other starship webmasters 
for getting Zope and plone operational on the new starship. 

I've only completed a draft for the Manager and Donation links. The prototype 
still needs a market pitch for Developers, Students, etc.. If anyone is 
interested in filling in some of the holes, embellishing my first draft, or 
fixing the grammar and speling, please let me know and I'll add you as a 
manager to the plone interface.

I tried to write in marketing-speak for managers. It's not my native tongue, 
so I won't be offended if your comment suggest I missed the mark. However, 
please do so politely:-)

I've just spent my last round tuit, so I'll probably not be able to work on 
extending the content for a couple days.
