Hi Mathieu and all,

good point, but I would avoid having it in two locations, since that'll
annoy people who click on all the links. Also, I wouldn't expect to find a
mission statement on a page entitled "Submissions" in the first place. That
leaves two options I can think of:

- Create two separate subpages for the "Mission Statement" and for the
"Submissions". Leave the main About page empty except for a list of links
pointing to the 4 subpages. (Similar to the Issues pages.)

- Move the mission statement to the main About page, but add a prominent
link to it on the Submissions page. (E.g. "Please read our Mission Statement
before submitting.")

Best regards
	Christian
