Josh, can you forward these new requirements to the website guys to
implement?

This all sounds fine with me. Ted, IIRC you were the one that got the
ball rolling initially on this; can you review and close the loops on
any follow up tasks to notify the community and so on?

Website: inkscape.org/conservancy
by Johan Engelen
Hi all,
Today I discovered this page:
http://inkscape.org/conservancy/
I think it needs updating or should be archived/deleted?
Somewhere it should say that we are a member of the conservancy (I
couldn't find it in any case) and we should have a link to the
conservancy's website too. Could be something really simple, like a
one-line sentence on this page here:
http://staging.inkscape.org/en/about/
What are your thoughts?
regards,
Johan
