other

For 3 buckets:

Let's make sure the verticals (culture, science, edu, gov) are linked to in menu drop-down up top.

For get involved options at bottom, flickr icon should be changed to identi.ca, maybe add newsletter somehow (http://creativecommons.org/newsletter). Google + is probably inevitable, once they roll out for org's.
