Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for this.

Some of this I've updated, a couple of bits still unclear... comments inline.

Not sure what you mean by this. I.e. list all aliases at the top, then
other forms of contact e.g. irc, mailing lists in separate section
below?

See above.

Done

Done. Not keen, on sub-pages (as I'm sure you're aware by my nagging
by now, too much maintenance, but think we should link to the
chapter's site and encourage them to update their physical location on
their own site)

I know - it has been there for ages... will move now, didn't realise
that page existed... oh, no - it doesn't, but does now... linked from
the footer of the main page.

Maybe an additional link, but I think they should stay under science
as well, so anyone coming with an interest in science can instantly
know whether anything is going on in their area / inspire them to
start their own list in this area...

They were kept separate as I think some of them have been shelved and
some of the lists I know to be out of use. I need some input from the
team to see which ones should be integrated into projects.

Yes,

Thanks!
