Working Groups
This section provides some quick links for members of IVOA working groups - twiki pages, events calendar, links to current versions of standards documents, etc. The material is intended for people actually working on development of IVOA standards, but is open to all, so any interested parties are welcome to follow the progress of IVOA business. To understand this material, you may first want to peruse the overview given in the Deployers section.
