[ZWeb] Re: IA for zope.org

[Paul Everitt]

Crap, only two responses to this (Olivier and Lennart).  While I realize 
everyone is pretty busy (as I have been for the last four weeks), it has 
also been months since we kicked off this community effort to improve 
zope.org.

I'd like to reemphasize my desire to make progress this week.

Lennart, Olivier, MaxM, Seb, or others -- do you have time for an IRC 
appointment today at 12:00 eastern?  Duration: 45 minutes.  Agenda: 
answer and finalize the initial round of IA questions and plan mockups.

For those of you that can't be available on such short notice, you'll 
get another chance or two this week to participate.
