[okfn-labs] okfnlabs.org

[Tom Rees]

And, in fact, we have funding for the latter.
The okfnlabs.org site was close to done until a recent refactor saw the
Jekyll theme rebuilt. I didn't check it very thoroughly it seems...
The things we are actively working on in Labs seem to be:
* Me on RevenueWatch contract
* Me on Dashboard (theoretically)
* Nick on Annotator
* Friedrich on Grano
* Somebody (Nick?) on the WorldBank contract

I'm not sure where Gregor is at the moment, and Friedrich I'm not sure what
other projects you're hacking away on which could be filed under Labs.
The future is clearly bright for contract work, but I think Labs is worth
more than that - we can fund and finish experimental projects or products
which aren't likely to become profit centres. Our website is a useful place
to send people who are looking for ways the OKFN could help them, or for
ways that they could help the OKFN. Ideally I'd like to build a community
there, though -- and in our Shuttleworth funding bid that is something
we've claimed we will do. Your thoughts are appreciated, gentlemen.

- Tom
