Hi all<br>
<br>
I agree we should have a larger donate button. Happy to mock that up.<br>
Sean, do you have any copy I could use? I imagine it would be pretty<br>
minimal...<br>
<br>
As far as using git, I agree that would make a lot of sense! I say<br>
let's do it. Bernie, would you mind putting together some basic<br>
instructions for me so I can continue to update the site?<br>
<br>
Finally, I am definitely excited to hear about the site assessment and<br>
to take on a long overdue design/content update! Let's talk once the<br>
findings come in.<br>
<br>
Happy holidays everyone!<br>
<br>
<br>
Christian<br>

concerning the static intro site and git? On topic as well, the MIT<br>
Sloan students are winding up their marketing study in a couple of<br>
weeks and they have given an initial briefing concerning our<br>
website(s). Which I missed unfortunately, but John Tierney rebriefed<br>
me. We may want to start thinking about a revamp in that context.<br>
