[IMC-UK-Features] (feature thingie)The Copenhagen COP15 Climate Summit

[maqui]

Hiya

Erik proposed to this list a while ago a Topic page for the COP15 
Climate Summit coming up next year (sorry I can't find the email right 
now)

As I have not seen any objection to that, and now Erik has proposed an 
intro feature for that page and I have not seen any objection to it 
neither (cheers for the typos correction from Cass Noel) then I think 
the topic cop15 could be created.

Now, sorry, I can't remember how to create it myself. Is there any 
tutorial docs page that i could have a look to? I would create the page 
tomorrow. Otherwise i'll jump in irc tomorrow afternoon and see if 
someone can coach me in there.

Cheers
maqui
