[open-economics] About Argentina and Openeconomics

[Gustavo Silva]

Hi Alejandro and Paul,

First of all, thank you for bringing your article to discussion and for
your interest to get it published in our blog. Also, sorry for not being
able to do so before.

Even though I do not have access to the blog (yet!), I will ask Paul to
hand over a hand to you on the body text and I am going to ask you to mail
the article whenever you two have something ready. How does that sound?

Thank you for your collaboration!
