We are finalising our project plan for 2003 - ie what "work packages"
we're dividing our tasks up into - and once that's done (hopefully
within a week) we'll be figuring out how to resource the jobs. So
right now there isn't anything specific. However, do point your
applicants at the web page, and of course anyone else who is adver-
tising Aus-VO related jobs (you needn't be on the 2003 LIEF grant)
let me know and I'll post them on www.aus-vo.org.

I might as well also advertise the existence of the Aus-VO "Wiki",
which is a collaborative web page for the Australian VO project.
Absolutely *anyone* can register, get a Wiki name and password,
and start editing existing pages and adding new topics! Head on
over to

http://www.aus-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Main

to get joined up. The Wiki does not take the place of mailing
lists such as this one, but does provide a place where we can
flesh out ideas, upload documents and the like, and generally
contribute to the Aus-VO effort.

David.
