Speaking of the work that was done today, it seems to me that [[/Vote-header]] is quite obsolete now, with [[/Vote-header/Core]] being our main introduction. Perhaps I'm wrong, but is there any further use for the former? perhaps we should move /Core to something less complex, like "/Introduction"?<div>

I've reworked the [[licensing update]] page a bit and have added a<br>
motivation section per John's suggestion.<br>
<br>
I've also split, as you may have noticed, the intro into a separate<br>
page, so it can be easily transcluded from multiple places - I noticed<br>
that the two intros (entry page and vote header) were getting out of<br>
sync.<br>
<br>
Thanks to AD for helping with the page layout :-)<br>
<br>
There's a thread on foundation-l about the attribution terms and<br>
CC-BY-SA. The final review from the Creative Commons GC was one of the<br>
last pieces I needed. I'll wait for some further responses in that<br>
thread until tomorrow, and then make some updates to the Q&A. I hope<br>
then we're pretty much ready to go on the document front.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if my input is needed anywhere, and I would<br>
appreciate if you could all take another spin through the core pages.<br>
:-)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
