[tei-council] TEI-C Website Development Window

[James Cummings]

Hi all,

David and I have decided to move this work to the second week of 
August.  So you now have until the 5th of August to get your bugs 
and feature requests relating to the website in.

Additionally, we have roped in Martin and Stuart as volunteers to 
help us squash some of the bugs. :-)
