I will get notes from Katie and try to pull both the irc log and her notes together so we have a coherent summary/notes of our call

13:42:44 [kevin]
Areas chris wants to look at are baseline standards compliance
13:43:03 [kevin]
markup and validation are not uniform across govt agencies web
13:43:05 [TvE]
An overwhelming amount of research after web services used is available both from previously run EU sponsored eGov projects as well as by the different national governments
13:43:20 [TvE]
Let's no redo that work.
13:43:26 [kevin]
series of best practices, accessibility
13:43:32 [kevin]
Agreed

13:58:42 [Rinke]
you're welcome. It seems that the wiki is unprotected, though: anyone can make an account.
13:59:20 [kevin]
I will check this out. We want the wiki to be open to read but not edit (with the exception of all the group members)
13:59:39 [kevin]

14:11:18 [kevin]
owen is mentioning how he had to change the template to get his content posted
14:12:11 [kevin]

14:17:56 [Rinke]
kevin, I can login to the wiki, but am unable to make any changes... so I guess the wiki is protected
14:18:19 [kevin]
ok that is good to know
14:18:45 [TvE]
to know what?
14:19:46 [kevin]
that there is security on the wiki. I will look into getting you access,
