[tei-council] gearing up for release 2.6.0

[Martin Holmes]

OK, I've made some final changes. I also noticed that TCW22 includes the 
port 8080 URL for the Oxford Jenkins server:

http://bits.nsms.ox.ac.uk:8080/jenkins/

but I think this one is more current, isn't it?

http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/jenkins/

Should I change that, or does it make no difference?

Cheers,
Martin
