[Cc-webedit] [networking] New Website - Design Concept!

[Emily James]

Yes, I take the point that this new site is not just for August, and I was
thinking short term!

I like the idea that the video player is there and can be either enabled
(say during the week of camp) or hidden away when it's less desired/getting
old.

But I think that all the discussions that we had about it at the media team
meeting on Sunday really assumed that there would be a player on the home
page during the week of the London camp.

Is that more workable?
