[p2pu-dev] [p2pu-webcraft-announce] School of Webcraft Update - Study Groups, Badges and Derbys! Oh My!

Mon Jun 27 13:40:34 UTC 2011

Hey Matt,
sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I'm able to make it for
the call today and am happy to invite feedback about the new site and
particularly the alpha version of the Webcraft pages.

Zuzel, John, are either of you able to make it to the call  to discuss the
greater Lernanta  / P2PU project aspect of this?

Pippa
