[John Cumbers]

So any thoughts on the ads, or are we okay to go ahead and try it out?  If
we keep it embedded in the wiki and link from the front page, then I think
we would maintain control (e.g if we wanted to change the provider then we
could just change what is embedded there).
any objections?
cheers,
John
