[Rpg_hyd] Remote Hubs--Official Announcement--DimDim training

Wed Oct 15 11:25:10 EDT 2008

Hello Rajesh,

Thanks for the information.
The site www.igfremote.com is currently being updated by me and Rafik. The
changes you mentioned will be made.
The site http://igf-online.net/?language=en is not maintained by us, but by
Jeremy Malcom from the Online Collaboration DC. I will contact him and ask
if he can add links to the RP section in the IGF website as well as to
igfremote.

Best wishes

Marília
