So I think the UK WP6 sites + other people likely to try 1.2.0 would be
better having the next Testbed phone conference later than Monday
(as previously suggested at the last phone conference.)
How is Friday 2.30pm for people? We should have more time to go through
this from scratch (if possible) so the other sites are then installing
something we've tested the installation of.

This might take quite a while: the Globus part should be ready later
today, but then the WP's will probably find more things that have
changed. I don't think we should delay too much waiting for 1.2.1.
