      Please review the following suggestions and let me know how to proceed.

      1. I think we should just get rid of that multi-panel box thing that discusses what TCIA is, etc. The content is covered in the menu options if someone has found us for the first time and wants to understand who we are and what we’re doing.
      2. Should we list the latest DOIs right on the home page now that we have a few? Not sure where to put them given the current layout but they seem valuable enough to users that I think it’s worth having them highlighted on the home page. Especially to help raise awareness and encourage more people to create them.
      3. We should re-work the text above the table of collections. Here’s my suggestion which makes reference to Collections and DOIs for now:

      TCIA Data Sets
      The image data in The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is organized into purpose-built Collections of subjects. The subjects typically have a cancer type and/or anatomical site (lung, brain, etc.) in common. Below is a list of collections available on TCIA. Each link in the table contains information concerning the scientific value of a collection, as well as information about how to obtain any supporting non-image data which may be available. In addition to collections, TCIA also supports Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) which allow users to share subsets of TCIA data referenced in a research manuscript.
