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.

Asunto: [Ica-osgeo-labs] Website feedback

On twitter just now a community leader made a comment that our website
(http://www.geoforall.org) doesn't clearly point out the benefits for a
university.  We outline "How to Join"
(http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join/), but not really "Why to Join".

I thought this was a good point, and now that we all understand it more,
it might be good to highlight this on the site.
