Hi Gerald and all,

Thanks to Nick and you for coming out with such a pleasingly designed 
website.

1) "All Events" linked to 
http://www.zoo-project.org/ZOO-Project/ZOO%20Events
is a deadlink.

2) in http://zoo-project.org/new/Get%20involved/Sponsorship
and also in all other pages

change from

"Next Events"

to "Events"

3) in http://zoo-project.org/new/Get%20involved/Sponsorship
Would it be possible to Add CartoWorks as past sponsor?


4) in http://zoo-project.org/new/Get%20involved/Knowledge%20partners

change from

"Make ZOO-Project a first class web processing engine, also in the 
academia."

to

"Make ZOO-Project a robust and versatile web processing platform for R&D."

5) in http://zoo-project.org/new/Get%20involved/Knowledge%20partners

change from

"Use ZOO-Project for teaching WPS and open source GIS"

to

"Use ZOO-Project for teaching data and task oriented open geospatial 
standards."

6) in http://zoo-project.org/new/Resources/Examples
maybe better to mention "Send us a link to your Examples"

7) http://zoo-project.org/new/Code/ZOO-Services

appears to be incomplete (nothing below GetCapabilities) and the "View"
links have blank pages.

8) http://zoo-project.org/new/Code/ZOO-Services/SAGA
shows unable to load pages

+ 1 for showing MapMint as under ZOO-Based Products and Projects.

I am looking forward to the MapMint 2.0 release this winter.

With all this great things happening, I would like to call for a ZOO-PSC 
meeting as
per the schedule below to discuss the next steps.
