> 
> * we want to replace the image on the front with a different photo

Jessica, I want you to choose the photo here!

> * we want to make sure that when you look at the front page,
>   your eye is drawn to the central information (photo/text)

To achieve this, we decided to make the navigation a little less bold,
and spread it across the top rather than the left.

> * Replace front big text with: "We empower women of all backgrounds to learn practical programming in a beginner-friendly environment."

Done. (Text subject to further change; submit a patch or suggest specific
alternate text.)

> * don't use the word hack on the events page (suggestion: s/open hack session/where you can continue practicing and learning/)

Done.

> * instead of archiving information from previous events on this site, we could use a page on the wiki that was clearly labeled as an archive page

Done.

> 
> on the sponsors page:
> 
> * rename the page "sponsorship"

Done

> * we could use the word professional less often

Done

> on the about page:
> 
> * move the results section a little higher

Done
> 
> * if we need to keep talking about the history and the people who started it, we can move that to a section below results
>   (Jessica feels that we don't need to even mention them anyway)

I relegated that to a section.

> * Jessica does not need a shout out that says that she's the leading organizer

Fixed.

> on the events page:
> 
> * do not need to say that the upcoming event is number five

Fixed.

> * s/We don't have a signup/When we have a signup/

Fixed.

> * we can link the past event information section to a new archive page

Done.

https://openhatch.org/wiki/Boston_Python_Workshop/archive is now
full of text.

> * the link to join the Boston Python user group could look more like a button

Done

> press page:
> 
> * it would be nice to have an embedded Flickr photo browser

I will do this in the next iteration

> * Jessica can tag photos that she thinks would be appropriate to appear here

(she provided me a directory of photos but I haven't reviewed them in
depth yet)

> the run your own page:
> 
> * it would be nice if we showed the logos of the efforts that we inspired

Next iteration, for now

> domain name:
> 
> * Asheesh wants to use bostonpythonworkshop.com for now, and Jessica says sure
> 
> I will work on implementing these changes today.

I shipped these changes and they are live at
http://bostonpythonworkshop.com/ and will now handle the image-related changes.
