About this blog

This is primarily somewhere for me, David Chapman (Twitter: @dachapman), to keep notes about information issues. Nothing here is complete (everything is provisional!). All I'm doing is flagging leads that I want to follow up at a later date.

And then of course there's the odd post that's off-topic, but that I want to say to the world.
