Agreed,

This is a quick fix and is to help us gather requirements. There is not
much point in spending any more time on it than we have. As I have said
before we need to focus on the phoenix project.

Well we all know what  CHF 0.02 is worth  =)

While I agree that there is room for improvement, and your points are 
all valid ones, we could be tweaking this page for years while 
delivering nothing to the community.

Right now we only have limited feedback to work with. I think we'll have

a better sampling of feedback if we can increase the page's exposure 
(make it live) -- as long as we can indicate where the community should 
go to provide feedback, which is not currently on that page.

I suggest meeting you half way:

1. we set a fixed deadline for making this page the live one.

2. we remove some of the older news items to unclutter the page

3. we complete the contact page and find a home for the thank you link 
that just went up

4. we add a blurb that can direct the community to the 
eclipse.technology.phoenix group (link to the Simple Web Interface if 
that makes more sense) to encourage feedback

5. we put the page live

6. We work on the next version, according to feedback received.
