Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your comments, some clarifications below:

Ah, I didn't pay attention to footer stuff. This will be cleaned up.

It seems this is the approach now, I need to confirm with Shawn and Judy.

Yes, good point. Will add.

Maybe a point of discussion: just the word "developer" is often ambiguous and can mistaken for Web developer as opposed to tool developer. Instead of every time saying "tool developer, vendor, or owner" I tried just "vendor" as an umbrella term. Maybe we should be more explicit in the disclaimer? Maybe there is a better umbrella term? Suggestions welcome.

OK, will be fixed (the entries are right now dummy text, not really generated content).

No search or sort works now, these are just static mockups to focus the discussion on the user interface rather than on database consistency issues.


Thanks!
