I want to clear something up here.  Excuse me for replying to my own
post, or complain to wplug-plan-owner, I don't care.

I've thought about it a bit, and it probably would be more fun and maybe
more productive (in a way) to do things the way Patrick suggested.  Just
say "We're giving away a suped-up, recently re-flashed wrt54gl to
whoever comes up with the coolest website component, applet, page, or
system for the wplug.org homepage.  There will be a member vote on such
and such day..."

That might be pretty neat.  But... I don't think its the way to go about
redesigning the website if thats the end goal.  That is, if the goal is
to redesign the website, great, I'm all for it and eager to help.  If
the goal is to give away some cool schwag for nifty webstuff, great, I'm
all for it and eager to help.  They're both good ideas.  Maybe they
should go together, maybe not.  Thats what we're discussing.
