  1. Lots of great content here for me to look through. Given that your welcome page mentions gathering feedback through Twitter, Facebook & online crowdsourcing it would be good if you displayed links to a facebook page if it exists, and either your twitter profiles, or a twitter handle for OAWAL, and perhaps embedded twitter conversations about this site or #oawal into the site.

    Best wishes with developing this.
