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).
<br>any objections?<br>cheers, <br>John<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/13/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Julius Lucks</b> <<a href="mailto:lucks@fas.harvard.edu">lucks@fas.harvard.edu</a>> wrote:</span>

I am with John in thinking we should see how the OWW community decides to use it. That said, some good example usage and maybe a highlight blurb about suggested usage will go a long way in shaping how the community views the service.
