Dear Francine

There's a wiki for G2 titled 'cifuturG2 possible working groups to care about
wsf process'.  The numbers I have cited are those in column C of the table at
the bottom of the wiki.

I saw the table's compiler to be grappling with 'caring about wsf'; when to
institutionalise a rules-basis, and when to develop/highlight the intrinsic
caring nature of those I have met via OpenFSM over the years.

If experiencing trouble locating the wiki/table, let me know.
Chris
