Hi + Yay!

Here are some quick thoughts:

* It would be nice to have a (small, perhaps) history section
  explaining that some people might know the organization from 
  its old startup days.

* One long-standing confusion point is that we'd like to show
  faces and maybe descriptions of the code contributors over the
  years, but in the past, this page only showed the board members
  and other people with some formal relationship to an organization
  called OpenHatch. Probably that should not literally be on the
  "About OpenHatch" page, but we should do our best to link prominently
  to it once there is such a page.

* The current "About" page tries to tell you how to use the website
  *and* more about the organization. I think it makes sense to make
  this page just be about the organization, and move the user-documentation-type
  stuff to a separate page.

I'm really glad you're willing to work on this page!
