[57north-discuss] Space status on the website

[Robert McWilliam]

I have taken the space status (open/closed + message) out of the header
of the website. It had confused a few people into thinking that we were
closed more permanently rather than just until someone opened the space
again. 

I don't think the status adds much to people looking at the main site to
see who we are or what we do, and for members (or others a bit more
involved) there are plenty of other places to look up the status. 

If anyone wants a "fun" UI design challenge I'd be interested in what
you can come up with for putting the status back on the site in a way
that won't confuse people (I'm vetoing a wall of explanatory text).

Apparently, three out of four people make up 75% of the population.
