RE: Landing page for fund raising needs updating

Good start! Here are a few more items:
 
It says:
The whole ebook industry relies on EPUBCheck to guarantee the accuracy of ebooks, but EPUBCheck 4.0.2 has not been updated in a significant way since 2016. Without an upgrade, EPUBCheck will not be able to validate files created using newer versions of EPUB. In fact, in its current state, EPUBCheck cannot properly validate many EPUBs that meet the most up to date standards.
 
I suggest:
The whole ebook industry relies on EPUBCheck to guarantee the accuracy of ebooks, and EPUBCheck 4.2.2 now provides the support we need, but we must continue to maintain this precious tool.
 
In the next section we need some changes as well. It says:
It needs a major upgrade for four primary reasons:
• To bring it in sync with the dynamically evolving core web specs of HTML, CSS, and SVG and also with the most current version of EPUB 3, which will be finished soon
 
I suggest:

I think that is it.

Hi,
 
I’ve updated this landing page to emphasize a PHASE 2 in fundraising to address the phase 2 in development.
Please let me know of any comment.

This can be a point of our SC call today, and communication worldwide on this FUNDRAISING PHASE 2.

Hi SC,
 
When I look at the landing page, it seems that it should be updated to attract new donors  and repeats. We are not at the same place and improved/updated language seems like it is needed.
 
Best
