Thanks Anne. I'm meeting with Piet later this week, and will report back.

Now, each big tent project can use our 'cookie-cutter' to create and maintain their own Install Guide, and we publish them up to our new Install Guide landing page, here: http://docs.openstack.org/project-install-guide/newton/ <http://docs.openstack.org/project-install-guide/newton/> For the long version of that story, you can see this SuperUser article: http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/turning-openstack-install-guide-head/ <http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/turning-openstack-install-guide-head/> or the first lightning talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TYyjrXX-Ec <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TYyjrXX-Ec>

The reason I'm emailing is because I wanted to find out from you  if the design elements we're currently using on the docs page (things like the little cartoon characters, etc) are still the right way to be doing things. Are there new design elements we should be thinking about, maybe in conjunction with the mascots? Also, do you have a designer on Foundation payroll that we can work with to do something truly awesome?
