That is good information Helena, you had a longer meeting with the website
people then I did :)
I have been very much focused on the visual design, and now that that is at
an edit I am trying ask how content migration, and then content creation
will occur.
For any groups going to foss4g europe next week join me at the code sprint
and we can write similar information as to what was used for Nottingham. I
think we should do this a few times before deciding how to collect and
maintain this information.
