As you might have spotted, we have now set up a Del.icio.us account for ORG which will post links once a day to this blog. If you have a Del.icio.us account yourself and you want to bring something to our attention, just tag it for:OpenRightsGroup. Then one of us will look at the link and decide whether to include it in our bookmarks.

We’ll try not to flood the blog with links, but if it turns out that there are more links that we can deal with in these daily blog posts, then we’ll rejig the template and put the links in the sidebar. Please do let us know if you’d prefer that!
