[pp.int.general] Open positions in PPI

[W Tovey]

On the subject of transparency, it occurred to me that while there was 
plenty of information available about the Coreteam, it can be quite hard 
to find. I hope I have remedied this by creating a central page on the 
wiki with details about the team (including minutes of our meetings). I 
will continue to add to this and keep it up to date, but there should be 
enough there to start with (including contact details). The page can be 
found here: http://int.piratenpartei.de/Coreteam . If anyone has any 
further questions, feel free to ask us either through email or IRC 
(there's usually at least one of us lurking around).
