Okay, 

So I tightened up some of the words, reduced the length and adjusted the formatting.  We definitely need more on the Moose side.  However, I don't think I should just cut and paste links.  What I did was create a page for Catalyst-Moose advocacy and linked to the Moose homepage.

This is definitely a great opportunity for the Moose group to get a little 'free' publicity and I hope we can find a way to get the most out of all this work we did.

Please check out the lastest on the wiki.  Thanks!
