Richard Donkin

I'm a member of the TWiki CoreTeam, though I'm rather inactive on TWiki at present having changed job and moved house.

The to-do's here are just for my convenience, and rather old. Trivia fact: I was at university with JohnTalintyre (also on the CoreTeam) but discovered TWiki independently.

My home page is at http://donkin.org - this is a TWiki site that I use mainly for WebsitePublishing and most recently for testing InternationalisationEnhancements.
