[FOSsil-bank] [FC-discuss] FOSsil Bank Update (31 August 2013)

Sat Aug 31 07:23:14 UTC 2013

Chris, this work is superb!

First, I will try to remember to contribute more. The main reason I have
not contributed yet, aside from being busy with other things, is that I
haven't made time to even fully look over what you've already done in order
to have a sense of what is already listed.

I went and added links just now to both the FLO Glossary and to FOSsil Bank
at our intro to the term FLO at https://snowdrift.coop/w/free-libre-open

Cheers!
