Actually our group aims at encouraging newcomers. It is not an advocacy or
a rights-based group. I agree that these inputs fall within our broader
goal, but for the sake of popularisation let's keep our website pages warm,
happy and simple in language.
I feel the right place for these points is
1. either a separate group which is more rights- or advocacy-based (which
we can ally with)
2. some FAQ page inside our site
Definitely not material for 'who we are' or 'about us' or 'our history'.

Debamitro
