Content updates and AJAX love

With help from Melissa I have updated some of the words on the site to make more sense. I have also spread some Web 2.0 love about the place.

I did not have enough space on the front page for a giant picture and recent news articles, because these project websites can get quite dry I really did not want to lose our colorful picture. So using AJAX I added a link which dynamically switches the picture for the news list, so they take up the same screen real estate. This is what they call having your Web 2.0 cake and eating it.

I also started to implement the ‘get involved form', I ended up including a captcha to prevent spam. Now I agree that captchas are generally evil and a bad idea from a usability perspective but it provides a quick way to stop a lot of spam. I plan to add some AJAX code to submit the form in a warm and fluffy way.
