the point is if we can do so much collective and individual  work in

it take to replace the html of the home page....?

hmm ..........

for entries ....?


   - submit html and css only pages by such and such date...


   - winners choosen by vote among common public....and judges and fans and
   media


   - award /prize is mention and hyperlink (nofollow tag) and bragging
   rights and free lodging and tickets to the annual R conference and  extra
   credits for passing the dissertation exam and A in Stats 303 and sip of
   vintage beer /wine /schnapps/vodka. and ..
