Yes great work. Key question: does okfn.org/groups/ page need all the
info about the group or just brief overview with pointer to WG's main
page elsewhere (e.g. http://science.okfn.org/) for science working
group.

I think the latter. This would mean we only need something short and
list of all members etc can stay on groups main site or wiki page.

Exactly. Most info can go on groups main site.

+1

I'd never list the people. Either on group page or should work via the
group members tab. Definitely do *not* want to list everyone.
