[Microbit-Python] Please add these users to the Microbit repos on GitHub *before* Sunday.

[Howard Baker-IF&L]

Hi Nicholas,
You are not a pain in the arse -- we are -- and I'm sorry it is so difficult. Yes please that is an excellent solution and thank you once more.

Best wishes
Howard

Hi Howard,

Sorry for being such a pain in the arse... ;-)

Jonathan from Microsoft has been in touch and I have a bunch of
pointers. For the other developers to have access to the correct code I
could just make a copy from my local version of the repos and let them
only have the correct HTML/JS/whatever. That way they don't get to see
all the other docs / top secret plans for the death star. ;-)

Does this work..?
