[Fwd: Re: refreshed website soft launched]

The Opencast logo is still the right one. Working on an RSS feed - 
unfortunately not as straightforward as I had hoped, but will get that 
to you soon.

As for the Opencast description on this 
page,http://fluidproject.org/index.php/projects , I would suggest:

"Opencast is a collaboration of higher education institutions focusing 
on audio and video content in academia. Matterhorn is an Opencast 
project that aims to build an enterprise-level, open source podcast and 
rich media capture, processing and delivery system."

Thanks!
Michelle
