If you think that there is really too much on your site, then we can simply
link to it. (I don't understand enough on it to be able to judge ;-)

However, maybe I was not clear enough concerning the objectives: the idea is
that anyone who

- wants to present GRASS to colleagues to convince them to switch over,
- present GRASS in general at a conference, Linux user group meeting, etc
- introduce GRASS in schools, universities, etc, for example in the first
lesson of a course
- convince his/her spouse that spending late-night hours with GRASS is really
worth-while
- etc

should be able to go to a central location (GRASS website or wiki), download
an existing presentation, poster, etc to either use it directly or modify it
for his/her purposes.
