[tei-council] Glines index page

[Lou Burnard]

Yes, there was a design committee and Julia was on it. Much, very much, 
blood was spilt as far as i recall, though not necessarily for that reason.

Is it worth tinkering with this particular aspect, which has been like 
this ever since the web site came into being in its present incarnation? 
If/when the website moves from its current host we will have much more 
significant changes to put in place.
