Where does the website end and the wiki begins

~awp9 wonders whether these instructions should be out of scope for the website itself. While it is important at a marketing level that it be clear that one can birth a new project, doing so is relatively infrequent, relatively technical, and needs to be kept up to date. It more fluidly connects with the collaboration happening in the wiki than with the static statements of the website. ~awp9's gut reaction is that the website page should be just a stub that links out to what we regard as more wiki than website.

Donor Opportunities

How to give money to JASIG.

Contact Information/Mailing List

How to contact JASIG, links to mailing lists. Contact Us form.

Credits/Supports

Give credit to commerical supporters.
(What about credit to non-commercial volunteers?)

Awards

What awards has JASIG or its products won?

JASIG Bookshelf

This is an idea that Jonathon had. It would be a list of books recommended by the JASIG contributors. Book cover images would link to Amazon such that JASIG would get a kickback for each book ordered via the referral mechanism.
(Interestingly, uPortal's developer books channel, once upon a time, did this, with the kickbacks going to IBS for a few minutes. The kickback feature was removed at the project administrator's request. -~awp9)
