Updated with correct times of Monday's Hack Session This is a very incoherent rough draft written on a day when there was no time to write. Therefore it is full of grammar mistakes, broken code and inappropriate snark. On this week community call we were making the final push to finish the skills under the competencies of version 1.5 of the Web Literacy Map.
