[okfn-discuss] Lucy and Jonathan: question re new Working Group pgs

[Kaitlyn (Kat) Braybrooke]

Cool, thanks guys. I agree re: much of that data being erroneous. The
shorter, the better with webpages, I always think ;)

Will moderate the EU Open Data Group page to reflect this and perhaps we can
use it as a model for other groups. I'm happy to change all the existing
Working Group pages. Would be great to get that 'Working Group' link off the
OKFN website.
