Same idea, different domain

Nobody's really built a content generation tool for Government yet.

{# Ad rails are position:fixed (see app.css's .sponsor-rail), so moving them after
in source order is purely cosmetic for the DOM -- visually they stay pinned left/right exactly as before. Put here so a linear text reader (an automated site-verification crawler, a screen reader, a search engine) hits the real page content first instead of a wall of repeated "Open slot" ad-placeholder filler before ever reaching a sentence about what Nicheloom is. #}
