Re: Outreach Activity - Opera Campus Crew and W3C

Ok.
I would soon setup a wiki page for this particular out-reach activity,
with all the details involved.. But since i have my end semester
university examinations beginning tomorrow, i would only be uploading
all the data after 5th December. In case its urgent, I hope one of the
community members can upload the content and i shall edit it later on.
