Re: Action-98 One page quick reference card / accessibility

Hi Alan,

I exchanged email with Li Ding, who originally created the semantic web 
card you've referenced, below.  He provided the original MS Word version 
we can use as a starting point - will email Ivan off list on migrating 
that to some other form so that we can "play with it".

Thanks,

Elisa
