Assigning to chowse so we can track the design of this page.  I believe he has new mockups available for review and feedback here: http://chowse.github.com/anthology-prototype/

A few quick notes:

* I've changed the title and introductory copy so it's a bit clearer what
  these pages are about. Let me know if there's anything you'd change.

* The HTML/CSS/JS headings are images, since they're names they're wordmarks
  that don't need to be localized. If this changes, we can replace them with
  a free WOFF font called Eraser (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Eraser).
  The font file is larger than the images for the moment, though (80K vs 15K).

* The blackboard was made by slicing and scaling a stock image in a very 
  kludgey way. It's passable, but could be done in a smaller, more polished
  way. Craig, if you have any experience here, I'd be happy to provide the
  originals.

If nobody else has any comments, I'll consider this page complete and hand off to Craig. The code for the prototype (including a history of changes) can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/chowse/anthology-prototype).

Sure, send me the original and I'll see if I can find a cleaner way to slice it.

I need to change the copy about School of Webcraft, since they're moving to a model of study groups rather than fixed-term courses. I'll have that for you shortly.

Nice work Chowse!  I'm going to sign-off on the latest version on Github so Craig can get started.

Craig:  Let us know if you need anything else... otherwise, hopefully you have everything you need (once Janet provides the new copy for School of Webcraft).
