[Open-transport] Working group website?

Thu Mar 22 15:50:06 UTC 2012

Hi all,

Sorry for my silence this week - I've been absolutely snowed under! If I
create the website tomorrow, would that work for you?

I will add Pieter as a site admin straight away. If anyone else would like
site admin privileges, please let me know.

Cheers,
Laura
