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

Mon Jun 13 15:46:22 UTC 2011

Howdy again,

In my ticket-bully mode, I've updated this ticket to include all the
information I can about what needs to be done:

http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/763

Could we please make any additional comments on the ticket.

@Kat - let me know if any of my scribbles are unclear!

Lucy
