How should drafts be posted for review? Thanks, Ben! I'd suggest putting them in the OSI wiki for review/discussion; I've sent you an account invite. I also created this page you can use: http://wiki.opensource.org/website_case_for_business And a project page at for anyone else who wants to jump in: http://wiki.opensource.org/website_improvements Someone else has also volunteered to help out; I'll let them introduce themselves when they want to :) Luis ___ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
