* There is a much nicer image over on 
http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/press/
IIRC, these press images were mirrored on the TT site as well.

* In the spec sheet, the memory bandwidth values lack a unit (MB/s?)

* Do we need physical dimensions in millimetres as well?

* Xilinx, Spartan and Lattice are trademarks. We definitely want to 
acknowledge them properly in a press release, or these companies would 
have to sue us or at least have their lawyers send us a nastygram (or 
risk losing their trademark). It also looks more professional. 
The "showcase" image I made has the following (with actual TM signs 
instead, but I can't seem to type them easily):

- Xilinx® SpartanTM 3S4000
- LatticeTM XP10

At the bottom, there should be something like "Xilinx and Spartan are 
trademarks or registered trademarks of Xilinx, Inc. Lattice is a 
trademark of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation."

Yes, I know I'm suffering from broken-recordness on this :-). However, 
there is enough FUD about free software developers not 
respecting "intellectual property" out there already, we don't need 
them to add free design hardware developers to that list (although they 
probably will anyway).

* "Given the high cost of hardware development, the Open Graphics 
Project cannot function as many loose-knit Free Software projects. They 
have developed legal frameworks to assist in the legal and financial 
aspects of the project."

That should be rephrased I think. I understand what you're trying to 
say, but you're not making it easy :-).

* At the end of "Licensing", "the all remaining software"


Typographical notes: I think the spacing between the headers and the 
following text is too big. Perhaps I've been looking at LaTeX output 
too much lately, but somewhat wider margins and filled-out text would 
look better. I'm not sure this is even relevant since I'm not sure in 
what format this stuff is going to be distributed.
