I’d second that. That image is really not that important.  
Alternatively we could link it to a weather reports page (which  
someone has yet to create, that would be a nice example for long  
descriptions of images, too, think of weather maps or the like).

Probably worth a discussion on wednesday.

Changed in the weather report, we can change the other locations if we  
know about the draft date.

This is due to some server configuration issues, I don’t know how the  
w3c servers are configured,. On my server /index/, /info/, … are  
directories, on the w3c server, those are files (without extension?!).  
We will have a deeper look at this issue if we’re deploying the demo  
to w3c servers.

We should really get some consistency here. I’m not a big fan of those  
truncated sentences either.

I wonder if penguins and parks should go to the news section?
