 <h3>Volunteer Webmaster Quiz</h3>
 
-<p>We welcome new volunteers to join the GNU webmasters group.  Since
-our philosophy is so important to us, we have a small quiz and
-background questions for potential webmasters.  If you are interested,
-please take a look.</p>
+<p><strong>Want to get involved with www.gnu.org?</strong> If you're
+enthusiastic, and know HTML and a little bit about our work, we'd love
+to hear from you! As a volunteer GNU webmaster, you'll be doing great
+work to help support our mission.</p>
+
+<p>Webmastering can take as little as two hours a week, or much more if you 
have the time.</p>
+
+<p>To get started, answer the following questions, as best as you can,
+and email them
+to <a href="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</a>.</p>

   what is its purpose?</li>

-glamourous, this is a very important part of our work. Are you happy
-with this?</li>

-<li>How much time can you currently commit to webmastering? (Of
-course, this can be changed at any time, but helps determine where you
