Hi Sander

> Well, that won't be too hard to make a design like that ain't it?

Let's see, it has never been easy to get things done around here.

At this point i am mostly thinking of getting more & smaller chunks of
content into one page and abandoning the huge blobs we have. So i am coming
from the content side of things, not so much the pure looks. Let's think
about that later.

> Btw what is 'the partnet network'? Is that us or did I miss something?

An initiative of 12 german TYPO3 consultancies.

As i said, there will be more news soon.

Cheers

Daniel
