[okfn-labs] PublicBodies.org update - revamped site and more

Tue Jun 25 20:16:29 UTC 2013

You can find the pull requests here:
https://github.com/okfn/publicbodies/pulls<https://github.com/okfn/publicbodies/pulls?direction=desc&page=1&sort=created&state=closed>

I don't see any from you, either open or closed, so it doesn't look like
Github thinks you created one.  Perhaps try again?
