I thought it was enough clear but sometimes an outside viewer sees things that someone from the inside doesn't. If he says it's not clear then it probably isn't.<br>

Asunto: [Ica-osgeo-labs] Website feedback<br>
<br>
On twitter just now a community leader made a comment that our website<br>
(<a href="http://www.geoforall.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.geoforall.org</a>) doesn't clearly point out the benefits for a<br>
university. We outline "How to Join"<br>
(<a href="http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join/</a>), but not really "Why to Join".<br>
<br>
I thought this was a good point, and now that we all understand it more,<br>
it might be good to highlight this on the site.<br>
