[PragmaticWeb] "Team" members wanted

Tue Nov 7 03:06:37 CET 2017

Hi, I've just refactored an introductory document to the framework I'm
proposing for Business Integration. Don't hesitate in commenting or
reviewing. Be patient please, it's a first draft. I've tried to be more
concise than in previous documents. Thanks!

Best,
