Hi Roxanne, Sure, I'm still down :-)
Give me a day or two to fit it into my rotation. (ooh nice long weekend coming up too :) Should I post my comments/suggestions here? Or would you rather we worked on it offlist, and then posted an edited version? (The plus there is that the whole list doesn't have to bothered with editing/typos/etc. -- and we can save their attention for *real* policy decisions, etc. that might need to be made as a group :) But sometimes, in the interest of transparency, people like to see all the edits in a list. So I'm cool either way. ok thanks! lisa > Hi Lisa, > > I am finally pulling things together...and have added in comments to > the original doc from here and the talk I gave at Pixelodeon to create > a little site online.
