Thanks. I made some further edits and added links. I kept a bullet
about OSSD (unless we're definitely going to deprecate it, I think it
ought be mentioned, or we'll not get the right interested people
involved, and anyway, I'm in favor of saying loudly what we're
considering before doing it ... but feel free to go in and delete :))
but left it out of the lead paragraph.

Alright, I started
http://opendefinition.okfnpad.org/2012-year-in-review ... almost
nothing there yet. Anyone wants to attempt to flesh it before I get to
it, please do!

I'm thinking post the call for OD participation on the OD site and
some close-by lists on Monday, then go for wider distribution with the
year review post toward the end of the week.
