Ooops, for some reason I was thinking this was the OKI list, so nm about
that!

CC is not quite ready to formally announce the pdwiki project we are
working on with Access Copyright, Wikimedia Foundation and CC Canada.

I want to open the doors as soon as possible and work towards
interoperability and sustainability between similar projects...community
support is super important to our projects...

Is there a place where you all work on a wiki and/or have detailed
similar projects?

Also, I will be in birmingham/UK JUL 15 - 19 and London 19-21. Is there
a time in there where we can get interested parties together to discuss
more?
