Typos in the "Behind the Scenes: Designing a New Way to Explain World Community Grid" news item

Fourth paragraph, fifth sentence: Double word
But we also discovered that many users users never got to the point where they decided to register.

Sixth paragraph, first sentence: Missing the word "be" between the words "would" and "accessible."
It was important to us to communicate what World Community Grid is, using language that would accessible to everyone.

There should be better proofreading for a professional and polished public information document such as this. Thanking you in advance for making the corrections.
Cheers

Re: Typos in the "Behind the Scenes: Designing a New Way to Explain World Community Grid" news item

OK, after almost a year of your new approach, we see the benefits of it - more people hear about WCG...

BUT, out of 18 people recruited to WCG over twitter posts, FB non-profit org webpage, signature in mail, etc. - 18 of them signed in WCG...2 of them are still on probation, but probably didn't install program...just like the rest of the people there!

So, even tough you get more people singing in...not many of them "follow through" by installing a BOINC on their computer! Can we please deal with that issue?! We need to "rephrase some words", inspire them to install & donate...
