I like it. What I currently miss on the page are soundbites, short pieces people will \
need. It is quite a bit of text, and it'd be good to see if there is stuff duplicated \
(seems not to be the case) or not really needed (there might be some). We need to \
ship this to people at booths, and as such it needs to be as short as possible - we \
can't force our booth dudes and dudettes to read 20 pages of text before they start \
doing their thing... Bullet points are good ;-)
