Thanks for your work on this :-)

Definitely a good idea to get this done soon. Can anyone else help with that?

Same again - how can people help?

Well, really we should have a think about the campaigns bit. We never make any 
decision on 14+14, the only thing we seem to be able to agree on is that 
copyright extensions are bad. On the collecting societies front, Ed is too 
busy to work on it and I don't think Neil has been doing any work on it 
recently. Only PD Burn and the various projects we're doing individually or 
as related groups (Remix Reading, Loca & Fading Ways, Libre Society, Deptford 
TV, etc.) are really active.

I'd like the subpage approach, keeping all campaigns under "campaigns", groups 
under "groups", etc. 

It would be good if MoinMoin would reflect this in something like a useful 
breadcrumb trail, e.g. showing "Home -> Campaigns" when you're 
on /campaigns/pdburn

We also have to take into account that MoinMoin likes CamelCase page names, 
otherwise you have to manually link everything.

Tom
