[FreeGeek] whats in a name?

[sean]

Great work to both of you!

Good news that we have a name! It makes it easier to talk to people
about this venture when we can state who we are.

Also, having a web presence will make it easier to focus people's
attention down to what we're doing.

I really dig the timeline module! Can that be given its own page as well
to show a greater range of time?
