We need a concise and accurate message that is easy to understand by non native English speakers and perhaps some translations in major languages.
We will base it partly on Smari's Doc

Sunstone is about what we want to build, not what we want to tear down or not be like.
I hope I am making sense, I feel rather brain-dead.

A slogan would not be a bad idea either

"Pirates in Government?"
(intentionally ending a slogan with ? instead of!)
?

Preparing Pirates for Parliaments

I like that -- and not just for the alliteration. :)

Jelena's Life is either a great adventure or nothing. Is not bad either - getting quite a few shares from the FB page

There has been some stirrings in Iceland in reaction to PPIS policies and pronouncements. Pornography and fishing quotas are the most recent. This has drawn attacks from the government and its backers which fall along the following lines:
- Populism
- Counter to government promoted values
- Not Icelandic (because the name in not Icelandic)
- Lack of policies
The first two are fluff and appeal to die hard supporters of the government but the last two concern us directly.
We have to balance these two somehow

I will try to work on this over the next few days... I'm thinking we need two statements; one quite short and snappy that is what people see up front, and another slightly longer and more explicative. It's really important that any up-front statement is about what Sunstone is for, not what it is not. Trying to define oneself by what one is not is not good marketing or policy. :)
