1st:  the homepage/landing page looks very good. clean & effective. Logo
nice.

2nd: OK I hate to be a broken record on this, but it's still not clear
to me on that page - and elsewhere - what civicaccess.ca wants to do.In
particular this sentence:

"If you share our values, or if you have ideas about ways to accomplish
our goals, why not join us?"

seems a bit odd since we have not defined the goals. The values,
however, seem well covered by "we believe ..."

I suggest as a goal(s):
"To promote open access to all civic data from all levels of government
in Canada; and to encourage citizen projects with that data."

This is a 2-pronged goal, which I think is OK. And for some kind of
slogan, how bout:

"It's our data. Let us use it."

Or something.

hugh.
