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

[Rufus Pollock]

This is great and I've merged the initial pull though I've just noticed
there are some issues re missing "key" column:

https://github.com/okfn/publicbodies/pull/39

This is actually required - something that should be made (much) clearer :-)
