Refs

Just happened to spot this linked from the Signpost. Campaign has online archives stretching back to 2005, so here are a few potential refs. Not many other trade publications have ONLINE archives going back that far, and I don't really have ready access to/the will to search through the offline versions. Added a few odds and ends, though.

[9] - a bit on the old "brownbox" criticism.
[10] - More on brownbox, criticism on structure.
[11] [12] - Expansion of the board, inc. its first chairman: Justin Sampson. No details, probably not worth including.
