Re: Meeting on Thursday, June 26, 2008

Joanthan,

Can you clarify which wiki page?  The list of members has always been here:
http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=42368 to the best of my
knowledge.  I do not really want to maintain a separate wiki page when
something is already set up.

Thanks,
Jeff
