Well, actually I'm just going to stop right here with it - it looks
good, reads well - only thing I'm looking for is a nice campaign B/W
graphic for the header - preferably, I guess, to fit in the space of the
frames in the head of the columns.

I don't know, could be textual, could be graphic's based, perhaps
something along the lines of a 

Pennsylvania Dutch barn raising - they (some figures) builing frame in
place, so pen/ink line drawing style, and a flowered design ala Amish
would be, seriously it would trigger the Barn Raising metaphor I think 

with text maybe "The Document Foundation Founding Fund challenge!"

- it would take a better graphics designer than me to put that idea to
paper - here is my country kitch version

NO I'm not going to print any of those...just thinking  out loud
