Re: Restructuring the "available data" section (s)

The issue is already summarized as an item with link to this appendix in the
"current situation" section. Why not put the content of "the linking issue"
[1] in the side deliverable [2], and change the link in "current situation"
?

It's possible we already discussed this option though, but I can't remember
it...
