The intent of this site is to provide information about the project to stakeholders and provide you with a mechanism to contribute, thereby hopefully increasing the buy-in and feelings of ownership as well as producing a better end product. It's certainly more than a "project blog". We hope it will be something that will encourage the growth of a community of interest that can provide us with valuable feedback from the community as well as a way for us to keep the community up-to-date.
