[Open-transport] Working group website?

[Laura Newman]

Hi all,

This sounds good!

How about I set up the site early next week? Perhaps Tuesday 20th? If
no-one will have time to add content next week, I'll postpone. Although
people typically don't find new sites until we draw attention to them, a
site that sits empty for some time looks a bit shoddy if someone stumbles
across it..

I will deploy the basic OKFN theme for now, and set-up some skeleton pages:
* About
* Blog
* FAQ
* Open Transport initiatives

Obviously you will be able to add / delete / edit pages freely, but this
gives you something to begin with. Feel free to jump in with other requests.

Anyone who wants administrative access to the site will need to register
with the OKFN (http://okfn.org/register) and send me your username. I will
then give you admin privileges :)

Thanks guys!
Laura
