Folks who've signed up have very specific needs, eg. listening to their community, branding the mission, or learning how to start something as simple as a newsletter. Your feedback told us we needed to do that better. 

Also, we've waived the fees — and we're putting all of this content out publicly. It'll allow us to get this into the hands (ears?) of more people so that we can then, in turn, learn from all of you.
