We have been informally using the following terminology:

* "Main promo" is the big box
* "Highlights" are the four boxes below
* So "highlight 3" would be your F4, for example

Does this make sense to everyone?

I'd like to keep the links count low in the main promo, so I reckon it's
probably enough that the photos are available from the swoop page.

It just needs someone to write the text...

I'd be tempted to put copenhagen first, as it is the thing we really
want to promote. I'd suggest the following order: Copenhagen, Gathering,
Mainshill, CCTV.
