Touch Events CG needs write access to hg/webevents/ repo

Hi All,

The Touch Events CG wants to do follow-up work on documents published by 
the now-closed Web Events WG. The Web Events WG used the hg/webevents/ 
repo and it *appears* that directory is not writeable by members of the 
CG that need write access.

Please set the permissions of the hg/webevents/ repo so that everyone in 
the Touch Events CG can write to that repo.

-Thanks, Art

I suspect the problem is the write access rights for each hg directory
is on a per group basis and since the Web Events WG was closed, probably
no one except perhaps W3C staff can now modify the directory.

Doug - would you please look into this and make sure all members of the
CG can have access rights to hg/webevents/?

That all sounds fine to me.
