[openspending-dev] Help us migrate OpenSpending blog to Wordpress

Thu Jun 27 09:17:36 UTC 2013

Hi Andy,

This is great. Thanks so much!

@Martin: Thanks for that.

We're gathering now at freenode IRC channel #openspending to continue the
work on the blog migration.

We will need help with the script as well as basic manual work for making
sure that the blog posts will fit with formats in their home at Wordpress.
So don't be afraid to drop by - we'll give a good introduction!

Anders
