Julian: can you comment on whether and how someone interesting in work | can obtain a list of workgroups (posted some time ago) and can participate | in such a group by e-mail only? | With respect to all this, I said some weeks ago that I would start compiling such lists. The ported software list is almost ready and will be out this week. The current projects list is not ready mainly because very few registered an interest in any areas of work. I will be looking at some way of compiling a list from the info on ref.tfs.com and I'll probably get something out this week on that as well. Basically the problem is that there are plenty of people working on things out there but in isolation. I don't want to collect names off the net without them contacting me and expressing an interest in being included because it would not be fair to them to suddenly find they're responsible for a particular area of the work. I did contact Lynee about all this and she said that if I could get such a list compiled they would look at splitting it up into workgroups that can get these things sorted for future incorporation. She also hinted that it's time to let people know which direction future releases would be taking. Therefore, the sooner people let me know what they're working and what their wishlists are, the sooner I can compile this working groups list and the sooner Bill and Lynne can decide what's going to be done. With regards a mailing list -- I think the Linux system is pretty good. Maybe we should adopt that. For those that have never used ( I haven't for a long time, it may have changed), it's basically like using newsgroups but it works using mailing lists so only those "subscribed" to a particular forum will get the mail. -- Paul Richards at Cardiff university, UK. spedpr@uk.ac.cf.thor Internet: spedpr@thor.cf.ac.uk UUCP: spedpr@cf-thor.UUCP or ...!uunet!mcsun!uknet!cf!thor!spedpr +++
