Where are we at with any of these changes...I think we need to get the web infrastructure up here asap. How can I help? I added a first run at the Development Community page. I think this sounds like a good name for the development community: Creative Commons Development Community (CCDC) http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Development_Community Mike, can we get dev.creativecommons.org to point to this page. Also, can we get the made development page, http://www.creativecommons.org/technology/ to have a header that goes to this page. This could just be a box that says, click here to go to the Creative Commons Development Community page. Also, could the main page with the mailing lists be updated with the new cc-devel list. Are these changes okay? I really think that these need to be made before more communication happens on the list (maybe these are slight bottlenecks).
