[Cc-webedit] [networking] Re: Banner image for website

[Alistair Alexander]

I agree that we should stick with the current banner we have until the  
design concepts discussion with networking.

I think we should use a strong photo from last year's camp across the  
width of the central column for the time being - i think we should be  
using more pics anyway.

Although i agree the current logo isn't ideal for the website, I'm all  
in favour of tripods in general. I think they're fantastically iconic,  
even if you don't know what they're about. Using imagery that isn't  
immediately obvious can work really well....
