<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Amber,<br>
<br>
I forgot about this but was reminded by today's emails. It is
much easier to edit text on one page (as in, it's incredibly
obvious) than to figure out how to make a new page/adjust the
style. Sorry for the delay.<br>
<br>
I caught the missing working groups, but your link does not go to
the latest descriptions. I did put a little bit of that link onto
the page, though, including the mailing list signup (is that OK?)
and a mention of the summer meeting, without any details.<br>
<br>
I still think this needs a lot of work to go "live" (as in,
actually promoting the site), and that's what I don't have
time/knowledge for at the moment. But I'll do my best if we
really want it for the meeting.<br>
