Gotcha.  Just want to cross my i's and dot my t's when discussing LOPSA with
others.

I guess I'm not sure.  What does the board consider as LOPSA's born-on date?

I see the about_governance page which looks like an ideal place to link off
from.  An entry in the FAQ pointing to the current list would also work.  
I'm not sure if it's worth the screen space to list it in the menu.

Looks good and it's more concise than wading through months of member memos.

Maybe make the FAQ entry discussing feedback more clear on the fact that
it's not just for website problems.  Like I said, some of these may just
be obvious to some people.  I have a tendency to ask the obvious questions.
