Elements on IMC UK mir frontpage

This table tries to bring together all the possible elements, their names, functions and definitions. It's a bit tricky, for expl. because some elements are technically the same (both mission statement and video page are "static pages"), but completely different in terms of their meaning for the network and functionality. Also because I don't know much about tech. Improvements greatly appreciated!
