So we (at ael) think the best way is to have a coherent action regarding and a coherent source of information (with cross-references) around the application of the EUCD in the different european countries. So we have setup a small wiki page with status : http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/EUCD-Status So EVERYBODY can edit it and add his specific information about his respective country. Thanks a lot. adulau -- Alexandre Dulaunoy http://www.foo.be/ AD993-RIPE http://www.ael.be/ "People who fight may lose.
