Re: Meeting on Wednesday?

THank you all and Michael especially for a useful discussion yesterday at
Morlug meeting.
I wonder if Michael could send to me the name of that website to learn about
XHTML/CSS
and for possible web-page templates. Also that IE6 fix you were talking
about.
If minutes of the meeting will be provided, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thanks,

Andrei
