    • reformat CMS Garden (make it editable text) and put on GitHub so we have master copy and others can use it
  2. How to incorporate into sliders on new plone.org (homepage screenshot)?
    • Could use theme of: people, places, things
    • Take text from posters, make sure they direct to plone.com
    • Advertise plone.com
