Oops. I think my recent posting contained an ambiguous statement about
the database project:

I should have said "volunteers are *needed*" - I didn't mean to suggest
that everyone who signs up for the nn.database list has to be willing to
input data into the database.
On this same subject, by the way, I'm thinking it might be good to set
up a printed materials database initially, which would contain such things
as the titles that Lisa Mitten and Duane-Michael deLuca have passed on to
us during the past year or so. I'd like to be able to accomodate abstracts
and reviews of the materials also.
Additionally, having this database could make it much easier in setting up
our initial reading discussion groups that the "nn.reading" list is planning.
There's a lot going on. I'm hoping more of us will be willing to roll up
our electronic sleeves during the upcoming weeks and months, so that by the
fall we'll have some of these projects well underway.
I still need moderators for the discussion list!
Thanks.
Gary
